“It is my pleasure to welcome Kimeia to our executive team,” said Octaura CEO, Brian Bejile. “Kimeia has been an exceptional leader and has valuable expertise in scaling high-growth startups as well as building transformative functions in larger organizations. Octaura would not be where it is today without her support.”

“I’m humbled to be leading such an important function at Octaura as we are positioning ourselves for rapid growth,” said Kimeia. “I’m excited about the vision Brian and the leadership team have already set around building a culture of innovation and delivering for our customers.”
