Kimberly Fortune, Operations Manager, Employee and Organizational Strategy

In the February 14, 2025 episode of the Virginia Child Support Podcast, hashtag Support VA Kids, host Mariellen Keely sits down with Kimberly Fortune, Operations Manager for the Employee and Organizational Strategy Portfolio at VDSS. Kimberly shares her journey from Louisa County, Virginia, to becoming the "Chaos Coordinator" and glue that holds her team together. She oversees Human Resources, Public Affairs, Organizational Development, and Enterprise Learning and Development, working closely with every level of VDSS to keep things running smoothly.

Kimberly talks about her leadership philosophy, rooted in care, connection, and empathy, revealing that she wants her legacy to be that she “cared enough to show up.” She describes herself as an ambivert who needs time to recharge and admits that her biggest challenge is her own perfectionism. Despite the pressure she puts on herself, Kimberly finds joy in supporting the caregivers who serve Virginia’s communities. She believes deeply in self-care, using the analogy of pouring from the saucer while keeping her cup full. Her commitment to leading with kindness and ensuring that people feel heard and seen is at the heart of everything she does.

This episode gives listeners an inspiring look into what it means to be the caregiver for the caregivers. #SupportVAKids #Chaos Coordinator #LeadingwithKindness
