Background

About Kissy Slaughter

I've spent my career leading the departments that shape the customer journey - Sales, Design, Operations, Marketing, and Purchasing. I've seen firsthand the impact when these departments align around a shared vision, rather than operating in silos with separate goals. With over 20 years in the homebuilding and design industry, I bring a rare combination of cross-functional leadership and customer-centered strategy. With experience on both the builder side and the vendor/supplier sides, I've built regional sales and design teams, optimized purchasing for margin growth, launched multi-market design studios, and led strategy and operations across three Texas markets. These roles have given me a 360-degree view of how the homebuyer experience is built from the inside out. Every touchpoint across these departments is a chance to elevate the brand and create trust for the customer - while also building loyalty, culture, and legacy within the people of the organization. I'm passionate about creating systems where internal teams operate in sync, and the homebuyer experience is consistent, elevated, and memorable. Integration and synergy between departments isn't just "nice to have"- it's vital. When the mission is rooted in teamwork, innovation, and service, THAT'S when the magic happens. A collaborative, forward-thinking leader with a passion for transforming fragmented functions into integrated, customer-focused ecosystems, I deliver outcomes that improve loyalty, efficiency, and profitability. What drives my leadership is a deep commitment to: Developing high-performing teams and building intentional culture Enhancing operational workflows to support experience-driven outcomes Empowering rising leaders to find their voice and lead with creativity and courage Designing smart, scalable systems that align cross-functional teams Eliminating inefficiencies through practical, common-sense solutions Collaborating across departments for strategic growth and execution Optimizing the customer journey at every touchpoint Fostering belonging and unity within organizations to inspire ownership and accountability, which inevitably enhances performance
