Kelley is a brilliant organiser with experience of applying lean startup methodology to real problems. As one of the organisers / mentors of The Lean Startup Machine in London, Kelley made sure all entrepreneurial teams were making good progress and receiving helpful feedback on the spot , learning as much as possible about lean startup methodology over the weekend".  Evgeny Shadchnev, Entrepreneur in Residence / Forward Ventures, UK

"Kelley is truly a tour de force: the type of mentor who forces you to dig deep, get outside of your comfort zone, and identify the best path to customer validation. Her training, mentoring and presentation skills are second-to-none, and will enlighten anyone lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with her." Ryan MacCarrigan, Director Marketing, AppFirst.


It was a pleasure working with you. I was definitely impressed by your breadth of experience and knowledge and your confidence and positive attitude on overcoming hurdles that lean presents." 

Ben Tider - Digital Marketing Director, Audience Development – Time Inc. Lifestyle Digital Group

Tina Yip - Boston University – School of Management

"Kelley brought a wealth of experience and a fearless quality to the "lean startup" team, and from where I was standing, really enhanced the creativity and smarts behind the tactics the team used to try to validate their idea."
