Born in Belarus in 1984, Kiryl Mikhalkevich emigrated to the U.S. in 2005 and settled in San Diego. He later established Route 66 Moving and Storage, serving communities from La Jolla to Del Mar, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Rancho Bernardo, Escondido, San Marcos, Carmel Valley, Poway, and Rancho Santa Fe. The company also handles larger moving and storage needs in Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

For the last ten years, Kiryl has also worked in real estate development, building high-end custom homes in Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, and La Jolla.

Before moving to the U.S., he graduated from the Belarusian State Medical University in Minsk, where he was a gifted student. The university is known as a center for education, science, medicine, and pharmaceutical practice.

Kiryl named Route 66 Moving and Storage after the historic U.S. highway. During the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, more than 300,000 people traveled to California through Route 66 in search of opportunity. Established in 1926, the highway runs from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, crossing Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

The route became a symbol of resilience, travel, and fresh beginnings. Ten decades later, it remains part of American culture through songs, literature, road trips, history, scenery, and local communities. His own search for opportunity influenced his decision to name his first U.S. business after Route 66.

Since opening Route 66 Moving and Storage in 2008, Kiryl has focused on reducing the stress of moving through responsive communication, accurate quotes, answers to customer questions, and careful handling of fragile, perishable, and valuable possessions. The company focuses on residential and commercial moves between San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Kiryl also views the business as a way to provide jobs, support the U.S. and California economies, help families, and give back for the opportunities he received. His work helped him expand into real estate development, and he believes entrepreneurship can help immigrants contribute their skills, ideas, and experiences to their communities.

Outside of work, Kiryl Mikhalkevich is a private pilot certified to fly Cessna and Cirrus aircraft. He also gives back to his local community of Del Mar, San Diego, recognizing the importance of supporting the community that contributed to his journey.

Coach agile et coach professionnel, j’accompagne les transformations des organisations depuis plus de 15 ans.

Issu d’un parcours en ingénierie informatique, en finance et en entrepreneuriat, j’ai évolué dans les systèmes d’information comme développeur, chef de projet, directeur de projet et consultant en organisation.

J’interviens aujourd’hui dans des contextes de transformation à grande échelle (banque, assurance, énergie, transport, industrie, e-commerce et services), notamment au Crédit Agricole Technologies et Services (CA-TS), ainsi qu’auprès d’organisations telles qu’Air France, Renault, RTE, Enedis ou Staples.

Cette expérience de terrain m’a permis de développer un retour d’expérience solide sur les dispositifs agiles et les dynamiques de transformation organisationnelle : ce qui fonctionne, ce qui résiste, et les conditions de réussite dans la durée.

En parallèle, j’accompagne dirigeants, managers, équipes et organisations en tant que coach professionnel. J’utilise différentes approches issues du coaching professionnel selon les contextes. En accompagnement individuel, je mobilise notamment les thérapies cognitives et comportementales (TCC), parmi d’autres outils adaptés aux situations.
