Impactful leaders create systems that optimize for creativity and innovation.

My work helps leaders to scale their leadership by sharing lessons from the trenches about how to use language, hold space, and foster environments that maximize clarity and optimize for innovation.

"The Momentum Framework" is a collection of contextual models and language tools that form a system that creates this space.

The result is >> MOMENTUM which can be measured through relationships and innovations.

My journey in innovation began with building software products at the ripe age of 11, programming on my 8-Bit Commodore Vic-20 in the 1980s. I never stopped. I studied aviation electronics working on F-14 Tomcats in the Navy, molecular genetics at the University of Rochester, and earned an MBA from the Simon School of Business in 2006, where I now teach and have won awards for the class that I developed.

However, most of my experience has come from two and a half decades of working in the trenches with amazing teams building innovative software products that move, touch and inspire the world. ITX is a passionate group of 260+ inspired technologists, architects, and artists that produce magic every day for our clients. We are pioneering how software products are built and creating best practices that are forging the future of how technology interfaces with people.

With my partners at ITX and in other ventures, I have engineered the divestiture, acquisition, and mergers of over a dozen companies. Through CEO and leadership roundtables worldwide and a professorship at the University of Rochester, I have educated thousands of business leaders on innovation, culture, trust, empathy, and "The Momentum Framework."

This work has led to many accolades such as the Vistage "New Advisor of the Year", "Top Advisor", "Top Rated Professor" and the Trust Across America "Top Thought Leader in Trust" awards.

Kimberly Ferguson is the face behind Emerald Expectations Accounting. She has a Bachelors Degree in Business Management, a Masters Degree in Accountancy, and is an Enrolled Agent with the IRS. She is also a Certified CFO through the CFO Project.

Founded on the principles of Integrity, Respect and Excellent Customer Care, Kimberly started her company because she hated the way she saw her clients being treated while working at another accounting firm. She wanted to serve small business owners in a way that actually made a difference in their lives.

Initially focusing on traditional compliance work, Kimberly began to see that her clients did not value the compliance work. Most of her clients did not even view the financial statements she spent so much time compiling. Being the kind of person who is not afraid of change, she began strategizing how to re-structure her business and re-build it as an advisory firm. But not just any 'ol advisory firm. Kimberly wanted to build a firm that made a difference; a firm that focused on big impacts; a firm that focused on breaking the walls between accountant and small business owner, and learning what was truly important to each one.

She asked herself, how could each client build a business that made their lives tangibly better? How could she help them remember the reason they started their business, and begin striving towards creating a business that aligned with that original goal?

It became clear that compliance, tax strategy and CFO advisory were not enough. But combined with a new approach on building a business on purpose and striving to really connect and care about each individual client, these services could make a real difference in the lives of the business owners with whom we partner.
