Kyle specializes in helping organizations connect strategy with execution in a way that’s practical, people-centered, and results-oriented. He thrives on challenges that don’t have obvious answers and is often brought in to bring clarity to complexity, align cross-functional teams, and move big efforts forward. Clients and colleagues know him for his ability to zoom out to see the big picture, then roll up his sleeves to get the work done — without the drama or politics.
Before joining Propeller, Kyle worked at Nike, where he helped lead major supply chain initiatives. He spent more than a decade in consulting leadership roles, where he led transformation efforts across the energy, media, manufacturing, and consumer goods industries. He started his career as a mechanical engineer and later led operations and quality improvement at a global manufacturing company before pivoting into business consulting after obtaining his MBA from the University of Washington's Foster School of Business.
