Hi there, I'm Kylinn Askew
CEO of Groundwork, Community Builder, Health-Tech Nerd, Wimbledon Wannabe
I’m a NY-er based in ATL, a systems strategist, founder, and former IBMer working at the intersection of systems, health, and AI. I care deeply about building platforms that drive measurable impact—especially where community and innovation meet.
Some things I’ve done before:
- Founder of Criado, a culturally grounded health platform improving hormonal health and health literacy for overlooked communities (powered by partnerships, tech, and a lot of grit) (piloted in Georgia and currently reaching over 10,000 active users)
- Executive consultant at Coca-Cola, where I helped lead multinational transformation strategy across 700,000 employees
- Program leader for IBM’s global Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, Call for Code, managing a multimillion-dollar innovation program with universities, startups, and enterprise partners
- Former pre-med turned ecosystem builder, nonprofit strategist, and L&D architect
- Cornell grad, maternal health advocate, and someone who still thinks like a scientist (just in different domains)
- On a tennis team currently representing the Southeast at USTA 2025 Nationals!
🧠 I'm most active on LinkedIn, where I write about Groundwork, the connective tissue for fast-moving teams, and building while human. Let's connect!
