Ryan Kimball

Independent business builder — 19 years earning and keeping trust across 150+ commercial partnerships, including a flagship relationship renewed every year since 2009. Built brand and merchandise programs that turned sponsorship into visible, lasting reach for partners — ready to bring that same instinct for strategic account growth and brand activation to a team, rather than building alone.

Founder & Managing Director at Kickball League of Rochester (2007-07 – Present)

Built and scaled one of the nation's largest adult recreational sports organizations from the ground up, owning the full customer lifecycle, executive-level partnerships, and P&L for a business generating $600,000+ in annual revenue.

• Partnership Development & Renewal: Negotiated and renewed 150+ commercial partnerships structured around measurable ROI, including a flagship sponsorship renewed every year since 2009 — retention built into how every relationship is managed, not left to chance.
• Merchandise & Brand Activation: Designed sponsor placement across team apparel, equipment, and event materials — including 18,000+ branded shirts printed annually — extending partner visibility deep into the community long after game day.
• Strategic Account Growth: Tracked granular, location-level partner data to surface risk and opportunity early, translating trends into specific recommendations that protected and grew each relationship over time.
• Community Impact: Built a structured giving model — a portion of every registration, fundraising events, and school supply drives — that returned more than $270,000 to the Rochester community.
• Growth Strategy: Grew the organization from 4 to 800+ teams annually through referral incentive and word-of-mouth, without a paid marketing budget.
• Leadership & Team Development: Built and mentored a team capable of running full operations independently, allowing day-to-day management to continue without me.
