Background

About Kip Franklin

I’m a data-driven professional pivoting from a successful career in higher education to business analysis, data analytics, and operations management. With 10+ years as a tenured Associate Professor, I’ve led academic programs, managed teams, coordinated cross-functional projects, and driven organizational outcomes through clear communication and strategic planning. Recently, I earned an MBA with a specialization in Data Analysis to build hands-on skills in data interpretation, statistical modeling, and business intelligence tools. I’ve developed a strong foundation in Excel, data visualization, and process improvement—and I’m excited to apply these in a business or nonprofit environment. As Treasurer of the International Clarinet Association, I oversee financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and contribute to executive-level decision making in a global 501(c)(3) organization. This role has strengthened my skills in financial analysis, operations oversight, and stakeholder collaboration. Wanting to relocate to Michigan, I’m actively seeking roles in: Business Analysis Data Analytics Operations or Program Management Arts or Nonprofit Administration I bring a proven ability to learn quickly, solve problems, and deliver results—especially in complex, evolving environments.
