About Kenny Sims

I help organizations simplify operations, align people with performance, and build systems that scale profitably—regardless of industry.

With decades of executive-level experience leading complex, high-volume operations, I specialize in transforming fragmented processes into clear, accountable, and repeatable systems that drive measurable results. While my background is rooted in large-scale automotive retail, the skills and frameworks I apply are universal: leadership development, compensation and incentive design, customer experience optimization, and operational efficiency.

My work focuses on the intersection of people, process, and profitability. I’ve helped organizations redesign pay plans that motivate the right behaviors, implement performance metrics that actually drive results, and develop leaders who can execute consistently under pressure.

Core areas of expertise companies hire me for:
• Leadership & Accountability Systems – building managers who lead with clarity, consistency, and confidence
• Compensation & Incentive Design – aligning pay with performance to attract, retain, and motivate talent
• Operational Efficiency – simplifying workflows, improving margins, and eliminating wasted effort
• Customer Experience Strategy – creating repeatable, trust-based experiences that fuel growth
• Change Management – guiding teams through transition without losing momentum or culture

As a speaker, I’m known for delivering practical, real-world insights—not theory. I translate complex operational challenges into actionable frameworks leaders can implement immediately, whether the audience is executives, managers, or frontline teams.

Organizations bring me in when they want clarity, structure, and results—and when they’re ready to move from intention to execution.
