Our Team

KIMBERLY KROUSEFounder and CEO

In this business, celebrity attendance and strong media relationships can make or break an event. Kimberly Krouse has spent the last decade building a wide network of contacts. As it turns out, her diverse background of international business, Internet marketing, and high-end fashion were all important building blocks for creating the perfect red carpet quarterback!

A former model herself, she oversees red carpet arrivals and celebrity wrangling efforts and serves as our press agent with the entertainment media. In addition, Kimberly works closely with several of the top public relations agencies in the world, producing electronic press kits that are distributed internationally following the conclusion of our events. KK has interviewed some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Oprah, Usher, Jennifer Lopez, and Yoko Ono. Prior to joining TOAST, she was the Senior Vice President of Business Development for About.com. Kimberly graduated from the University of Southern California where she majored in International Relations and Marketing. She also received her Certificate of Mandarin from the Beijing Language and Culture Institute, Beijing.
