Meet Kimberly


KIMBERLY BERTZ
Consultant & Advisor
Kim partners with executive teams and boards to design, lead, and embed transformational change that lasts. She brings Fortune 50 operating scale, Big 4 consulting rigor, and a reputation for getting it done through community, connection, and collaboration. Clients bring her in when a sound strategy needs a catalyst to put it in motion, when the same work is being done five different ways across the business, or when culture and workforce decisions carry real financial consequence.
Kim spent more than a decade at Wells Fargo, rising to the firm's Management Committee, the top 300 senior leaders among 200,000 employees globally. Across three enterprise leadership roles – COO of Corporate Real Estate, Global Head of Workplace, and Global Head of Employee Engagement – one principle held constant: investing in employee experience drives business performance. She ran an 80 million square foot portfolio on a $3B operating budget and delivered $90 million in occupancy savings in a single year. She led the enterprise COVID response and a phased return to office for 125,000 employees that became a reference model for hybrid work in financial services. She consolidated fragmented engagement programs into one enterprise capability, lifting retention and promotion rates the same year LinkedIn ranked Wells Fargo the #2 Top Company to work for in the U.S.
Through The Tapestry, Kim works as a consultant, advisor, and fractional COO. Alongside that work she co-founded Suretify, an AI-powered claims platform for the commercial surety industry, and advises venture portfolio companies on operations and go-to-market. Building and advising in real time is what keeps her counsel current rather than retrospective, particularly on the question every executive team is now asking: what artificial intelligence actually changes about how work gets done, and what it does not.
Kimberly holds a dual MBA from Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School of Management and Queen’s University’s Smith School of Business, and a BA from UCLA. She began her career on the Human Capital & Strategic Change team at BearingPoint (now PwC Advisory) serving clients across financial services and technology.
She is an expert speaker and panelist on the future of work, return to office, workplace experience, and change management.
