Her Interview

Ten minutes with Kali

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to helping suppliers navigate the financial landscape while maintaining strong, collaborative relationships. Outside of work, I am a proud mother of three daughters and enjoy traveling for their softball activities. I also love boating, spending time on the lake, and immersing myself in nature.

Volunteering has been an important part of my life; I have supported community initiatives such as the J Scholarship Foundation’s theater programs since 2006 and have participated in Walmart events, including open calls and shareholder activities.

My greatest inspiration is my mother, who taught me the value of perseverance and never giving up, lessons that continue to guide both my personal and professional journey.
