We invest in people who create value and deliver results.
The evolution of strategic capital.
We’ve always aimed to do things a little differently at Kompass. And it’s taken some time to get where we are today. But since the very beginning, there’s been a commonality that has driven our decisions, our growth, processes, and investments:
Invest in good people to do good business with. It’s that simple.
For us, the returns are beyond economics. It’s building camaraderie and a culture that employees are excited to be a part of. It’s partnering with companies and delivering an experience that grows and accelerates their business.

FINANCIAL SERVICES
Emily Van Dyke | Director of Financial Services
We’ve assembled an experienced team of finance and accounting professionals to support our partner’s operations with expertise in financial modeling, budgeting, taxation, transaction processing, and providing real time metrics and information that will help improve visibility.
LEGAL SERVICES
Chrissy Alvey | Director of Legal Services
Legal issues are an unfortunate reality for all companies that can distract and take time away from the leadership team’s efforts to manage and grow the business. Our legal team works to prevent potential issues from escalating, mitigate legal disputes, and defend our operating partners in the legal areas of interest.
MARKETING SERVICES
Bailey Warlen | Director of Marketing Services
Our in-house agency provides a full range of marketing services including strategy, account management, creative development, and production services. Partners have access to brand development, copywriting and content management, graphic design, web design and development, video production, email campaigns, social strategy, and more.
OPERATIONS SERVICES
Cindy Pritchett | Director of Operations Services
KKM Operations serves to deliver goods and services to our customers in a timely and cost-effective manner while providing a safe, healthy and comfortable place to work or visit. For our partners who office out of a KKM-managed building, we’ll oversee the vendor relationships, facilities management, building and office services, maintenance, repairs, technology, and security.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Brett Carmical | Director of Human Resources
Every employee, in every business, in every industry is different. The traditional “one size fits all” approach is outdated and ineffective. From temporary staffing to hospitality management, transportation to candidate placement, our team has deeply rooted experience in a range of different industries. These services include payroll administration, benefits and rewards, talent acquisition, and performance management. At the center of each of these areas, your most valuable resource is our primary focus—people.
TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
Joe Leigh | Director of Technology Services
Having the right technology with the right support is critical to operating your business efficiently and effectively. Our affiliate technology solution partner company, Moonshot Solutions, can provide you access to leading applications along with the resources to implement, manage, and enhance them for you.
CORPORATE AFFAIRS
Brittany Branch | Director of Corporate Affairs
We understand the value of operational efficiency, clear communication, and meaningful relationships. Corporate Affairs serves to better align communications and strategy implementation across internal and external teams. We strive to listen before being listened to, and we focus on sharing information appropriately and securely. We value our stakeholder relationships and work to establish open communications to monitor interests, issues and concerns.
Value beyond capital.
We position our partners for growth by providing targeted support through Kompass Business Services. Backed by a team of industry experts, partners have access to centralized support in accounting, banking, compliance, facilities, finance, people services, legal, information technology, marketing, operations, payroll, and taxation.
With Kompass Business Services, our partners are able to spend more time working ON the business, not IN it.
KEYS TO OUR SUCCESS
