Kristen Cortellini

Kristen Cortellini

Senior Director of Research, Client Insights & Strategy

My golf journey started in high school when my Dad introduced me to the game at our local course. I quickly realized it was a sport that would have lifelong legs and was the only time I felt good being under par. To me, the allure of golf lies in its picturesque landscapes, profound mental challenge and the camaraderie and connection it fosters. As a strategic leader with over 15+ years of experience I've helped guide organizations through complex business challenges. For the past decade, I've been focused on the automotive industry and had a front-row seat to its tremendous growth and innovation. I'm excited to channel my passion for unearthing insights to help clients drive strategic success as the golf industry experiences its own remarkable growth.
