UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2024 / Marquis Who's Who has honored Kelly Linkous Cole for her success in accounting and financial operations. She has demonstrated exceptional dedication and expertise throughout her career.
Mrs. Cole has established herself as a distinguished professional through 15 years of professional experience. After spending her early adult life raising four children, who have grown into valuable members of society, Mrs. Cole rose quickly as an expert in her field after entering the professional world at 39 years old. Her ability to rise from humble beginnings to an advanced career with various high-level responsibilities exemplifies her resilience and determination.
Mrs. Cole's professional journey began in 2009 when she entered the insurance industry. As a customer service representative at Beecher Carlson Insurance Services LLC, Mrs. Cole quickly demonstrated her potential, advancing to account manager in 2011 at Lipscomb & Pitts Insurance, where she continued to hone her skills until 2012.
Mrs. Cole's career trajectory took a significant leap when she joined USI Insurance Services as a senior account manager, a position she held until 2019. During her tenure at USI, she exhibited skill at delivering property and casualty solutions to large risk management clients and middle-market companies. Upon exiting her position at USI, Mrs. Cole took an advanced role as a senior account manager at Lockton Companies from 2018 to 2020.
Among other noteworthy roles, Mrs. Cole briefly served as an account manager at McGriff Insurance Services. That year, she was also recruited to join IMEC for the first time as their financial controller from 2020 to 2024. In 2024, she moved into a sales executive position along with public relations at IMEC.
A century-old company founded in 1923, IMEC (founded as Memphis Engraving Company Inc.) is a full-service multimedia brand communications provider helping clients reduce costs and manage advertising. Services include prepress options, direct mail, web services, photography, photo retouching, color management, variable data printing, digital print on demand, web-based marketing portals, offset printing, fulfillment, graphic design, pressure-sensitive labels, and more.
As a financial controller, Mrs. Cole has played a pivotal role in IMEC's expansion by overseeing all financial operations while ensuring efficient cost management and financial planning to support growth and profitability. She now promotes IMEC with print and prepress sales as well as public relations.
Mrs. Cole says, "The thing that makes me more of a leader is being able to adapt. If something changes, it's important to be adaptable to any situation, regardless of fear. I choose to see change as an opportunity to learn a new skill and really see how far I'm able to go. I believe you can learn something from everyone you meet. I've had three different roles since I've been with IMEC, and while they're very different, they all have the same goal of supporting the company."
Mrs. Cole's journey inspires many, demonstrating that with hard work and dedication, significant accomplishments are within reach regardless of one's starting point. Mrs. Cole attributes much of her success to her strong leadership skills, resilience, and unique ability to adapt and thrive in any environment.
