Commissioner Joe Mullins has built a career centered on steady leadership, long-term thinking, and service to both business and community. He serves as CEO and president of The Mullins Companies, which includes Mullins Properties and Mullins Sports & Entertainment. Over time, his organization expanded from a small set of ventures into a diversified operation spanning real estate, construction, franchise management, restaurants, sports, entertainment, and media. His work reflects a consistent effort to create stability, opportunity, and practical growth.

Joe Mullins of Augusta was raised in Evans, Georgia, where early involvement in athletics, theater, and leadership programs such as FBLA, Jr. Achievement, and 4H shaped his discipline and communication skills. He earned a BBA in Business Management from the University of Georgia and later studied at UCLA under Hollywood agent Henry Holmes. These experiences provided a foundation that blended business fundamentals with an understanding of creative industries and relationship-driven work.

His early professional years were spent in sports and entertainment, where he represented athletes and entertainers who later became nationally recognized and inducted into professional Hall of Fame organizations. Through this work, Joe developed strengths in negotiation, trust building, and talent management. He also gained valuable experience through an internship with the Anthony Robbins companies, which reinforced his focus on accountability and personal development.

Entrepreneurship became the next phase of his career. Joe expanded into real estate and development, often acquiring underperforming properties and investing resources to improve them. Over time, his portfolio grew to include more than 800 multifamily units along with several commercial assets. During the COVID-19 period, many properties faced serious challenges, but careful leadership and planning allowed his teams to recover and return to firm performance.

Public service has remained an essential part of his life. Joe Mullins, Flagler, served as Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, focusing on broadband expansion, fiscal responsibility, mental health funding, disaster recovery, and workforce housing. He also contributed at the national level through broadband initiatives that supported rural communities.

In the media, Joe hosts the radio program “Live, Work, Shop, Play in Florida,” which reaches millions of listeners across Florida and Georgia.

Mihaela is a product leader with 15 years experience in building B2C and B2B global products and leading product teams in various industries, from education, e-commerce, to affiliate marketing and automotive.

She's led and scaled cross-functional teams, launched new products, and worked closely with business, design, engineering, and leadership teams in complex environments, while shifting away from a project mindset and towards a user-centric and outcome-oriented approach.

Mihaela believes that putting people first, both end-users and teams, is the key to creating great products.

Throughout her experience, she identified that most product teams don’t fail because of strategy, or lack of skill. They fail because they are not truly aligned in how they understand the work.

She now helps product leaders and cross-functional teams uncover hidden misalignment, clarify how they communicate, and build and speak the shared language needed to make good decisions and deliver outcomes that matter, faster.

Topics include:
- cross-functional collaboration
- outcome-driven product development
- inclusive leadership
- language & alignment in cross-functional teams

After my sessions, audiences typically:
- recognise how language quietly shapes collaboration and decision-making
- see why well-intentioned teams drift out of alignment over time
- gain practical ways to surface hidden assumptions in their own teams
- rethink “alignment” as an ongoing leadership responsibility, not a one-off event

Most importantly, leaders leave with a sharper lens for spotting problems before they turn into delivery failures or team friction.

My talks are grounded in real team dynamics, not idealised models, and they challenge people to look honestly at how they work together.

I believe technology works best when it's built around people. Almost 20 years in People leadership, Agile, and organisational development, I've learned that real innovation happens when teams feel genuinely seen and supported. I speak at conferences about Systems Thinking and diversity because I've witnessed how surface-level fixes rarely stick, meaningful change requires understanding the deeper patterns that shape how we work together. At KRS, I partner with leadership to build cultures where people can show up as themselves, where curiosity matters as much as competence, and where different perspectives aren't just welcomed but actively sought out. I'm drawn to the messy, human side of work: the conversations that shift thinking, the vulnerabilities that build trust, the moments when strategy meets intuition and something new becomes possible.
