About

Founder of KINZA | CEPA | Speaker | Leadership & Exit Strategist for High-Capacity Women

Cari Kenzie is the founder of KINZA, a boutique advisory firm redefining how women lead, scale, and exit—with soul, strategy, and no apologies.

Built after her own unplanned exit from a multi-million-dollar agency, KINZA was born from one clear truth: women deserve more than a seat at the table—they deserve a roadmap that honors their identity, leadership, and legacy.

KINZA works with founders, CEOs, and executive women navigating high-stakes transitions—from scaling their teams to selling their companies. Through a blend of strategic advising, behavioral alignment (including Predictive Index), and a proprietary Exit by Design™ framework, KINZA guides leaders to recalibrate from the inside out—so that value, vision, and voice all stay intact.

Cari leads this work as a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) and keynote speaker known for her bold clarity, grounded insight, and deep commitment to honoring the whole woman behind the business. She doesn’t just help clients prepare for an exit—she helps them stay powerful through it.

Whether you’re planning years ahead or navigating an unexpected crossroads, KINZA meets you there—with a full team of advisors, tools, and truth to help you scale wisely, lead consciously, and exit whole.
