KMKnyc is a boutique consulting practice led by Karen Mercado‑Kempter, a native New Yorker and talent executive with over two decades inside global brands. She’s built teams, scaled organizations, led global recruitment, shaped employer brands, and navigated the people decisions that define culture.

Her work blends strategy, clarity, and real‑talk partnership — supporting companies as they hire, grow, and evolve. From executive search to organizational design to early‑career pathways, KMKnyc brings a modern, people‑first approach grounded in lived experience.

This is talent work with honesty, intention, and a little New York hustle.
