Our Team

Kris Reynolds is equal parts builder, coach, and professional herder of ideas (and occasionally people).

He’s a husband, dad of three, and spends a lot of his free time chasing something—usually a soccer ball, a good strategy, or the elusive idea that this project will definitely be the last one. 

He coaches girls’ soccer, still plays in a men’s league despite a résumé that includes six knee surgeries, and believes recovery time is mostly a mindset.

When he’s not on a field, Kris is likely deep into a book, binge-watching a talked-about series, or firing up a video game to unwind. 

Sports are always on in the background, fantasy football debates are welcome, and he has strong opinions about teams, trades, and leadership—often all at once.

Professionally, Kris is the founder and CEO of Arrowhead Consulting, where he helps organizations think clearly, execute better, and avoid the kind of strategy that looks great on paper but goes nowhere in real life. He’s known for asking uncomfortable (but useful) questions, connecting dots others miss, and keeping things practical—even when the work gets complex.

At the core, Kris believes business is a team sport, leadership matters more than titles, and the best strategies are the ones people want to follow.

Mike brings a wealth of leadership and management skills as well as proven abilities in executive government organization. The majority of his career has been spent with a focus on improving operations, working conditions, living conditions, and motivating/training a large workforce spread over 69,000 square miles. 

Mike has a proven track record in technology growth, facility and agency systems, building and maintaining large scale security operations, recruiting and employee growth, stakeholder development and collaboration, policy development and implementation, and government interoperability. 

Mike has shared ideas, systems, and participated in speaking engagements across a wide swath of the corrections field and through many organizations and associations supporting the corrections field nationwide.

What’s rarer than a prospect who actually answers the phone? Geordy Walker not spotting an opportunity. Equal parts strategist and relationship-builder, Geordy has a natural instinct for connecting the right people to the right solutions — and doing it without wasting anyone’s time. He lives in the space between vision and execution, turning conversations into momentum and ideas into real progress.

Outside of work, Geordy is at his best with his feet in the sand, a beach chair planted firmly facing the water, and his phone nowhere near a spreadsheet. He loves cheering on his kids in whatever activity has the current season’s spotlight, has a soft spot for animals of all kinds, and proudly supports his serial-entrepreneur-minded wife as she builds and creates. Whether at work or at home, Geordy’s constant is the same: show up, support the people around him, and keep things moving forward.

If enthusiasm were a renewable resource, Arrowhead could power the office off of Sami alone. As Practice Lead for Talent Development and Organizational Effectiveness, she supports leaders with powerful questions that drive insights, an action-oriented approach, and a mix of challenge, support, and genuine care. A Columbia-trained executive coach and recent Arrowhead addition, Sami is known for being a straight shooter, a relentless cheerleader, and someone who says what she means kindly, clearly, and without fluff.

She’s lived all over the world – ten years in Beijing, ten in NYC, time in Tulsa, and now based in Kansas City – and brings that global perspective everywhere she goes. Outside of work, Sami is usually cooking (with a soft spot for Asian cuisine), reading roughly a book a week, or out on long walks with her leash-trained Bengal cats, Cosmo and Jupiter. A classic evening includes a new recipe, a good book, and two spotted companions who believe walks are a perfectly normal cat activity.

When not running towards fear, Kari considers herself a walking example of how persistence pays off and how facing challenges, networking with a “pay it forward” approach, and taking calculated risks can help you achieve success. She has invested the last 15+ years recruiting in IT, leading successful teams, working with executives through coaching programs, and presenting keynotes & masterclasses about the power of Networking across the country and abroad.

Kari has learned failure is a great teacher and making mistakes is part of the journey to success (as long as you learn from each experience).

Kari enjoys:

• Pushing people outside their comfort zone
• Watching Bruce Lee movies again (and again)
• Hosting Star Wars GEEK OUT NIGHTS
• Salsa dancing
