CEO

Talon brings deep expertise in IT supply chain, banking, and manufacturing, leading transformative projects and risk management initiatives across Fortune 350 organizations. Sherrie’s background spans sales, marketing, and healthcare, where she has driven revenue growth, developed strategic partnerships, and led organizational transformation for both Fortune 500 companies and innovative startups. As a team, they blend business acumen with a heartfelt connection to faith, family, and community impact.

Talon and Sherrie are college sweethearts whose partnership is grounded in family values, strong faith, and a shared commitment to giving back to their community.

  • "[Sherrie] has a unique ability to build strong, authentic relationships with ease, and she approaches every interaction with both professionalism and genuine care."

    — Jaclyn Edwards, Network Relations Consultant at CareMore Health

  • "What impressed me most was Kaiban's systematic methodology and the depth of their sector expertise. Their frameworks give me the data-driven foundation I needed to move from relationship-dependent consulting to systematic, scalable operations."

    — Sara Merlo, Principal, Merlo Education Consulting

  • "After a couple of minutes of meeting with Talon and Sherrie, owners of Kaiban Consulting, I immediately had some great ideas I hadn't thought of before. It was helpful to have someone tell me what I should do, because sometimes, I just don't have a clue. I like the way this team works together, as a head and a heart. Their approach is unique and very appreciated."

    — Wendy Mackenzie, Herbalist, Founder and Owner of Everlasting Herb Farm

  • "Hi Sherrie! I just wanted to share how much I enjoyed the session you and Talon led last week. It was honestly one of the most valuable sessions we've had. I appreciated how interactive it was and how you created space for real dialogue around the things many of us are working through."
