Kim Rakow Bernier

Managing Director and Faculty
Kim runs KRB Consulting & Coaching, a social purpose organization development consulting, facilitation and leadership coaching practice. She specializes in vision and strategy, board development, and leadership transitions. She brings a strength’s-based, collaborative approach to her work that centers on building capacity within organizations and the individuals and teams that give them life. Kim’s early lived experiences and work influenced her interest in cross cultural understanding and racial justice which extends to her current commitment to creating inclusive, equitable, and just spaces and systems. Her early days as a Peace Corps volunteer shaped her still evolving passion and accountability to locally owned, and culturally relevant community development and leadership. She is fluent in Spanish and conversant Solomon Pijin.

Kim has been a nonprofit practitioner her entire career in varied roles including executive director, senior manager, board member, consultant, philanthropist, and volunteer.  She is an alumni of the Global Leadership Forum cohort IV, during her tenure as Pangea Giving’s first Executive Director. She served on EarthCorps' board of directors for seven years, including as board Chair and co-chair of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee. Recently she co-developed and is teaching Washington Nonprofits’ strategic planning modules throughout Washington, and nationally through virtual platforms.

Kim and her husband Raphe have two school-aged children. In her “free” time, Kim can be found playing soccer, enjoying family and friends, making family photo albums, and running (to keep up with her kids!)
