About

Impact Entrepreneur | Empowerment-in-Chief | Pivot Strategist

Spark, hosted by Kellee Marlow, on KXSF.FM in San Francisco, focuses on informing minds, inspiring ideas and igniting innovation, through curated conversations with change-leaders and influencers. Basically, conversations that enable us to transcend beyond what we believe we are capable of.

Kellee Marlow built her career by embracing disruption and identifying innovative concepts and technologies that challenged companies and people to think differently. She has survived and thrived through virtually every life-altering social and economic crisis over the past 20 years, including 9/11, the 2008 crash, and now the recent global pandemic. By welcoming, rather than fearing change, she has created a mindset focused on empowerment, innovation, and inspiration that guides every personal and professional decision she makes.

Her career spans corporate, entrepreneurial, and advisory roles across technology, business services, consumer products, real estate and retail verticals and she has experience in practically every functional area, including finance, marketing, business development and public relations. Following corporate stints with well-known brands, including HealthNet, Royal Cruise Lines, Burson-Marsteller, and Sun Microsystems, she ventured out on her own and founded private investment group Lion Ventures Group, after her development focus at the venture accelerator, O2 Venture Partners. In these businesses, she evaluated potential acquisitions and helped emerging technology prospects crystallize their value proposition and source investors.

In 2016, Kellee expanded Lion Ventures Group towards creative content investments to focus on her interests in health, wellness, spirituality, and the arts. She forged into unchartered waters, and despite no previous experience in filmmaking, created the vision for, co-directed, and produced a social impact documentary (Art of Courage) that was featured at 11 top national and global film festivals. This success inspired Kellee to help others realize they could change their mindset to achieve goals they once believed were out of their reach.

Now, Kellee’s mission is to empower others to trust their instincts, take risks, and discover their path to personal and professional happiness. As the Founder of curated content platform Spark, Kellee informs, inspires, and ignites her audience by sharing her thought leadership and that of experts and influencers in business, psychology, technology, art, and wellness. Topics tackled include gratitude, discovering your authentic self, career reinvention, combatting negative self-talk, and dealing with loneliness. This resource has connected thousands of people with the narrative they need to move forward and realize their goals with guidance and support.
