Kevin Wilkins built a successful corporate career with Fortune 100 companies like Procter & Gamble and Fidelity Investments. But when he sold his company and moved to New Orleans, he faced an identity crisis—no more corporate brand, no predefined path. He had to redefine leadership for himself.

Wilkins discovered that true leadership isn’t about titles or company logos. It’s about people, culture, and impact. He founded Trepwise, a consulting firm dedicated to strengthening purpose-driven organizations. His work focuses on aligning strategy, vision, and execution for nonprofits and businesses looking to make a difference.

One of his biggest leadership lessons? Make the company bigger than the founder. Wilkins emphasizes investing in people, fostering a strong culture, and ensuring the mission transcends any one individual. His success proves that leadership isn’t about personal accolades—it’s about building something that outlasts you.
