“I had the privilege of working alongside Sherrie during my time as a Network Relations Consultant, while she served as Network Support Manager. Although I did not directly report to her, she quickly became a mentor and someone I deeply admire. Sherrie is intelligent, diligent, and a natural leader. She has a unique ability to build strong, authentic relationships with ease, and she approaches every interaction with both professionalism and genuine care. Her guidance and support were invaluable to me, and I am grateful for the impact she has had on my growth. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Sherrie will quickly see the qualities that make her stand out—her leadership, her authenticity, and her commitment to excellence. She is truly an asset to any team or organization.”

“I had the privilege of working with Sherrie as a sales account team managing a book of business for Anthem. From the very beginning, Sherrie welcomed me with open arms. If you had seen us working together, you might’ve assumed we were longtime colleagues or even family, when in reality, we had only been working side-by-side for a few months. Sherrie is the type of person who makes collaboration seamless. Whether we were dividing and conquering tasks or tackling challenges together, I never once questioned her ability to perform above expectations. She is honest, transparent, relatable, and determined, traits that are rare, transferable, and invaluable in healthcare or any industry. What sets Sherrie apart is her ability to be both strategic and tactful in building and maintaining relationships. She consistently balances professionalism with genuine care, which is why she earned the trust of colleagues and clients alike. Over the years, our working relationship has grown into a lasting friendship, and I can say with confidence that Sherrie would be an incredible asset to any organization fortunate enough to have her on their team.”

"Kaiban Consulting's proof-of-concept engagement delivered exactly what we needed to make strategic decisions about scaling our education consulting practice. Their systematic approach provided two critical components: a comprehensive 15-dimension organizational maturity assessment framework that transforms how we evaluate client organizations and strategic market intelligence identifying over $2 million in annual revenue opportunities across 20 high-alignment prospects.
What impressed me most was Kaiban's systematic methodology and the depth of their sector expertise.The diagnostic insights they provided have fundamentally changed how I approach business development and client assessment. Their frameworks give me the data-driven foundation I needed to move from relationship-dependent consulting to systematic, scalable operations.
Their market analysis provided the strategic clarity I needed to prioritize my outreach efforts effectively. The quality of their research, the practicality of their recommendations, and their genuine understanding of the challenges facing mission-driven education consultants exceeded my expectations.
I'm excited to explore their implementation and scaling frameworks when I'm ready to systematically grow toward my $1 million revenue goals in Spring 2026. Based on this collaboration, I'm confident in referring qualified education organizations to Kaiban through our referral partnership—their diagnostic capabilities and strategic thinking depth make them an ideal partner for organizations seeking systematic transformation while maintaining commitment to racial equity.
