Our Story

About Our Founder

Dr. Krista A. Bragg brings over 20 years of executive leadership experience in healthcare, with a proven track record of leading operational transformation, strategic growth, and innovation across complex systems.

She has held senior roles at leading organizations including the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), Allegheny Health Network, Highmark Health, and Health First Health System, where she led enterprise initiatives that improved efficiency, financial performance, and clinical outcomes.

In addition to her work with large health systems, Dr. Bragg advises healthcare startups, supporting founders in developing scalable, outcome-driven solutions. Her work bridges strategic vision with execution, helping organizations deliver measurable, lasting results.

 

​As healthcare leaders increasingly turned to Dr. Bragg, often frustrated by consultants who lacked real-world experience, she saw a clear need for solutions that work in practice. This inspired her to launch KB Kinetics, a firm built on strategies shaped by hands-on leadership and proven results.
