Background

About Kerrie Carbary

My home is in the small business development nonprofit world as a business coach and program manager. I also have served as a CFO for two different startups and launched a retail store, web-based sales business, and a small press publishing company. My passions are community building and healing through economic, social and food justice. I am at heart a visual storyteller and bring a strong design sense to all I do. For the past several years, I’ve been able to combine my business, program management, fundraising and passion for food systems while working with the team at Food Innovation Network to plan, launch, and grow the food business incubator program and kitchen at Spice Bridge. Specialties: Progressive project management (getting things done in the best way possible, not just doing them in the same way that has also been successful in the past). Specialities are thinking way outside the box, writing, communications, editing and publishing, social networking, grassroots marketing, social entrepreneurship, coordinating and managing projects, developing and delivering curriculum, public speaking, presentations, promotional and marketing materials, problem solving and helping organizations grow—all while meeting people where they're at and keeping a sense of calm and a sense of humor.
