Kristen Wilson, CAE, CNAP Related Seminars and Products
CEO
AZ Impact for Good
Kristen is a proven leader with more than 16 years’ experience leading efforts to support community stakeholders across multiple sectors. She is focused on bridging the gap between the nonprofit, for-profit and government sectors. A fierce competitor, Kristen is never satisfied with resting on her laurels and is always looking for the next big challenge to conquer. Driven to be the best while remaining authentic and invested in the success of others, Kristen helps organizations and teams reach their full potential by serving as a leader, mentor and chief cheerleader.
Often, her competitive spirit drives her career, but other times it means acing a serve on the volleyball court or reaching a new milestone in her health and wellness journey. But most nights, she is admittedly just playing with her fur babies, Max and Riley.
