Kelly Bottenfield is an entrepreneur, investor, and keynote speaker who helps leaders navigate growth, uncertainty, and high-stakes decisions with confidence.

As Co-Founder and Former Chief Sales Officer of The Honey Pot Company, Kelly helped build one of the fastest-growing brands in women's personal care, scaling the business from an early-stage startup into a nationally recognized company with distribution in Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, Whole Foods, Amazon, and thousands of retailers nationwide. Her journey culminated in a $380 million exit, but the leadership lessons she shares were learned long before that milestone.

Today, Kelly is Co-Founder and General Partner of K&C Ventures, an operator-led venture firm investing in the next generation of consumer brands. She also advises founders and executive teams, drawing on more than 25 years of experience leading sales, scaling organizations, navigating rapid growth, and building high-performing teams.

Kelly's keynote presentations blend authentic storytelling with practical leadership insights, empowering audiences to embrace opportunity, lead through uncertainty, and build confidence through action. Her signature message, Just Say Yes. The Rest Will Follow., inspires leaders to stop waiting for the perfect moment to act and to start creating the future that they want.
