Скачать или смотреть Kimia Kiser: Building Your Own Venture While Stepping Into a Legacy Business

Kimia Kiser represents a new generation of leaders who choose to build independently before stepping into responsibility inside an established legacy business.

In this episode, Kimia shares how founding her own consulting venture with her sister shaped her leadership style, confidence, and decision-making, and how that experience prepared her to take on the CEO role at Vascular International, a long-standing MedTech education company.

We talk about what it really means to lead change in a founder-driven organization, how to professionalize a passion-built business without breaking what already works, and why building something from zero can be one of the strongest foundations for future leadership.

In this episode, we discuss:
→ Why Kimia chose to build her own company before joining the family business
→ What entrepreneurship teaches you before taking on legacy responsibility
→ Leading without a classic succession blueprint or formal handover
→ Navigating change in a founder-led, mission-driven organization
→ Working with siblings as co-founders and operators
→ Translating startup speed into sustainable, structured growth
→ The future direction of Vascular International
→ Practical advice for next-generation leaders finding their place in established businesses
→ What’s rising and what’s setting in Kimia’s life right now

An honest conversation about leadership, identity, and building impact across entrepreneurship and legacy.
