Founder & President, Kimberly Gabriel

Kimberly Gabriel is brought into technology organizations at critical inflection points—when ngrowth stalls, execution breaks down, or strategy fails to translate into results. Her work spans both formal leadership roles and embedded mandates, with a consistent objective: restore clarity, realign execution, and deliver measurable outcomes.

She works directly with executive teams navigating high-stakes transitions, restructuring, or scale. Her role is not advisory in theory, but execution-driven in practice. Each engagement is defined by a clear mandate, decision authority, and measurable outcome objectives—producing structural shifts that endure beyond her involvement.

Through Solandari Group’s Emplacement™ Engagement model, she embeds within organizations to execute critical mandates from within—translating strategy into action, restoring alignment across teams, and exiting with the business stronger, clearer, and structurally sound.

Since 2010, she has partnered with senior executives and leadership teams across environments ranging from Series A startups to Fortune 50 enterprises. Organizations including Microsoft, Kyndryl, Aerospike, Insight, Navan (formerly TripActions), Metadata.io, Cyren, and CitusDB (acquired by Microsoft) have engaged her to accelerate or recalibrate business performance—across go-to-market transformation, market entry, revenue and pipeline acceleration, and, in some cases, positioning for acquisition.

Solandari Group was formed to deliver a structured model for embedding leadership within organizations navigating transformation at critical inflection points.

The focus is to bring clarity, alignment, and disciplined execution to business-critical moments—ensuring that strategy is translated into measurable outcomes.

Rather than advising from the outside, Kimberly Gabriel embeds within the organization to execute defined mandates, align priorities, and deliver results that sustain beyond the engagement.

In many technology organizations, strategy is well-defined—but execution is fragmented. Leadership mandates are unclear, authority is diffused, and responsibility is distributed without alignment. As a result, critical initiatives stall and performance becomes inconsistent.

Solandari Group addresses this by positioning leadership with a clear mandate, defined authority, and responsibility for outcomes. This reduces friction, accelerates execution, and enables measurable results.
