Kim Korth Biography :

Kim Korth is President and owner of IRN, Inc., a well-known consulting firm specializing in strategic advisory services to middle market manufacturing. She founded IRN in 1983 and has spearheaded its growth into a leading consulting firm for global automotive suppliers. Kim earned a B.A. from Western Michigan University in 1977 and an M.I.M. from the American Graduate School of International Management (Thunderbird) in 1980. She also spent her junior year in college at the University of Wales in the United Kingdom in 1975-6.

Her work has centered on helping suppliers understand the dynamics and structure of their industry, and how they should position themselves to compete in an increasingly volatile worldwide market. Her primary role has been in management consulting and planning, guiding companies to establish sustainable strategies for growth and improved financial performance.

Consistently ranked one of the top speakers in the industry, her views on middle market manufacturers are frequently quoted in major publications. She has traveled extensively in the past few years as a featured speaker at numerous domestic and international conferences, including strategy workshops in Europe and North America, as well as keynote addresses for various financial institutions and trade associations (e.g., PMA, SAE, TMA, IFI, etc.).

Kim has been an active participant in industry since 1980, beginning her career at Prince Corporation, now a part of Johnson Controls. She is currently a member of the Board of Directors of Shape Corporation, Burke E. Porter Machinery Company, Unwired Technology LLC, Stoneridge Inc., and the Original Equipment Suppliers Association (OESA). She is also a member of the Society of Automotive Analysts and is on the Advisory Board for Western Michigan University’s MBA Program.

IRN’s primary focus is to strengthen the competitive position of their clients. With fifteen staff members, IRN provides ongoing market intelligence and strategic support to over 200 firms.
