About Kim Inouye

Chief of Staff at PayPal, Etsy, MICA

Hello! I’m Kim, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in design and product management. Most recently, I served as Chief of Staff for two Chief Design Officers at PayPal, where I honed my skills in Design Operations, Service Design, Product Design, Interaction Design, and Program Management.

Throughout my career, I’ve focused on empowering both leaders and individual contributors through challenging career conversations, performance reviews, and feedback calibrations. I understand the complexities of navigating the design landscape and can provide valuable insights into the nuances of design management.

If you're feeling apprehensive about an upcoming conversation or review, or if you’re trying to make sense of a tough discussion you’ve just had, I’m here to help.
