Colleagues describe them as "My name is Amber Wise, and I currently work as a non profit consultant for the organization inExcelsis in St. Louis, MO. I met Kris Kepler while working at LavaMaex. I really got to know Kris while serving as Program Lead for our 1:1 mentorship program and then later as a Director of Programs and Impact while Kris served as CEO of LavaMaex . During a critical transition time in our organization, Kris stepped in and worked tirelessly to help us find our footing and build a foundation for who we were to be. One of the things that strikes me the most about Kris was her ability to bring teams together for collaboration. Under Kris’s leadership LavaMaex established a mentorship program that served over 70 service providers, launched over 50 mobile hygiene & essential services programs globally, and provided over 9,000 hygiene kits to those experiencing homelessness during the pandemic. We were able to successfully continue our outreach work post pandemic providing showers and outreach events geared towards those experiencing homelessness. Kris also drove the team’s innovation to create educational resources for other service providers across the United States eager to safely continue serving their communities in a “New Normal”. Last but not least, Kris built partnerships with major businesses that invested over $560,000 in grant funding to service providers in the United States serving the unhoused. Kris is an invaluable asset, She is an amazing communicator, a gifted data analyst, an innovator, and a visionary. Kris has passion & a proven track record for making real social change. Kris is a leader that not only delegates, but is willing to jump in and do the work with her team if needed. Any company would be lucky to have her." and "Thinkshift was proud to be LavaMaeX’s PR team and I was consistently impressed by Kris’s leadership skills. She piloted LavaMaeX’s shift to teaching community organizations how to deliver mobile showers and other essential services to unhoused people in the most difficult possibly circumstances: In the midst of training her street-service team to reinvent themselves as consultants, the pandemic hit and they had to reengineer their direct service and consulting program. A former designer, Kris encouraged the team to adopt a design strategy for solving problems: observe, think, execute, revise. Ultimately, LavaMaeX had enormous impact, accelerating the launch of 50 new programs in 51 communities across seven countries, investing more than 6,000 hours of program consulting and $502,500 in grant funding."
