Kimberly Johnson

Chief Compliance Officer

Kimberly is a seasoned Chief Compliance Officer with nearly 20 years of experience. She has previously served as a Securities and Options Principal, leading teams focused on critical compliance areas such as public communications and trade supervision. She is highly skilled in creating strategic plans and tactically executing those plans to develop and enhance end-to-end broker-dealer compliance programs. Kimberly excels in developing and deploying comprehensive compliance programs while maintaining the highest standards of integrity.

Kimberly's leadership is characterized by her strategic vision in compliance management, her ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes, and her dedication to fostering a culture of compliance and excellence within her organizations. She has managed compliance teams of varying sizes and has built a reputation for her ability to drive effective change.

Beyond her professional achievements, Kimberly is passionate about mentoring. Whether teaching financial literacy to fourth graders or guiding young professionals in their careers, she takes great pride in empowering others to grow and succeed.

A native of Connecticut, Kimberly earned her degree in Communications, with a minor in Marketing, from the University of Connecticut at Storrs. Throughout her career, Kimberly has worked in various locations across the U.S., including Westchester, New York, South Florida, and Charlotte, NC, before returning to Connecticut to be closer to her large family in the tri-state area. She shares this journey with her 14-year-old son, Elijah, and their Maltipoo, Gino.

Outside of work, Kimberly enjoys traveling, salsa dancing, volunteering, and cheering for her son at his basketball games. Her greatest motivation, however, is her son, Elijah. Kimberly is driven by the desire to show him the value of learning, embracing challenges, and approaching life with a solutions-focused mindset. Her "why" is rooted in her commitment to her son and the belief that with passion, dedication, and a willingness to learn, anyone can overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
