Since 1990, Kimberly Haley-Coleman has built long-term partnerships and projects across the nonprofit and for-profit sectors worldwide. Before co-founding Globe Aware, she served as Vice President of Business Development for aerospace firm Team Encounter and led international expansion efforts for Infotriever, a Canadian communications company. As Director of International Business Development at Telescan (now InvestTools), she developed strategic relationships across 20 countries, helping millions access free financial education tools. She also contributed to the launch of CNBC.com as interim Product Manager and co-developed Dcipher, an AI-driven investment analysis engine that provides free, real-time portfolio insights.

Earlier in her career, Kimberly worked with FCA Inc., developing international joint ventures to strengthen West African markets, and served as Associate Portfolio Manager for the Capstone Japan Fund, where she managed research and trades in global equities. She also held leadership roles at Documentary Arts, Inc., organizing cultural programs and securing grant funding, and volunteered with the Dallas Museum of Art and the High Museum of Art. Her extensive international business travel and volunteer work inspired her to create Globe Aware—a nonprofit designed to help busy professionals give back through short-term, meaningful service opportunities abroad.

Kimberly holds an MBA in International Business from the University of Dallas, graduating with Highest Honors and receiving the Texas Business Hall of Fame Scholarship Award. She also earned an M.A. from Southern Methodist University and a B.A. from Emory University. She currently serves on the Executive Committee for the International Volunteer Program Association (IVPA), the Board of Groundwork Dallas, and as President of the Shore Acres Beautification Club. In addition, she is a Leadership Member for Service Nation, a national initiative that promotes volunteerism and civic engagement across the United States.
