Meet the ‘Air Traffic Controller’ for U.S. Bank Wealth Management - Seite 2

"Kim is extremely skilled at coordinating and facilitating people, resources, and processes so our team can perform at a very high level," Ford said. "She's proactive, and oftentimes comes to the table with several potential options for the team to consider. That is extremely helpful."

Ferguson brings her eagerness for taking on large and complex projects to her philanthropic efforts as well. The Spelman College graduate takes her alma mater's tagline to heart: a choice to change the world.

"It has inspired my commitment to serving my community - making choices that will impact generations to come," she said. "I am dedicated to working for the empowerment of women, being an advocate for families and children and defending the civil rights and liberties guaranteed to everyone in this country."

This commitment is reflected in her board service: Ferguson has served on the board of the YWCA St. Paul for nine years, on the Minnesota affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for three years and the national board of the ACLU for two years.  

Ferguson is often asked for career advice, particularly by young women just starting out. She recommends building your own "personal board of directors" filled with diverse perspectives to provide strategic guidance, obtain honest feedback, and remind you of your goals and values while navigating challenging situations. Her board includes people in public service, the field of law, brand strategy and leaders of tech startups, who "come to the table with different methods and mindsets," she said. 

Ferguson enjoys visiting museums and is an avid art collector, especially works by Black women artists. Her collection includes pieces by Lavett Ballard, Emily Moore, Deborah Roberts, Sharon Walters and Eyenga Bokamba, whose Twin Cities studio Ferguson has visited. 

Their works are "deeply connected to my culture, style and personality. Many are prominently displayed not only in my home but my office," she said. "Art helps me cultivate my curiosity and embrace ambiguity, and those are skills that I utilize everyday as I work with my colleagues to execute and actualize wealth management's vision."
