Giving a ––––, with Kimberly Hurtarte

Over the past decade, Kimberly Hurtarte has been working with artists, corporations, individuals, and nonprofit organizations to design and implement sustainable campaigns generating meaningful impact on a global scale. She currently serves as the Executive Director of Incubus’ Make Yourself Foundation and as an advisor at Global Impact. She began touring with Linkin Park in 2015 as part of their foundation’s fan engagement initiative, which gave way to an unexpected but exciting new career as tour manager soon after. Her passion for logistics, problem-solving, and relationship building has led to rewarding opportunities working for artists like Incubus, Meghan Trainor, and Lizzo. In our discussion with Kimberly we talk about her origins in the Peace Corp, her transition to touring, and helping artists activate their fans around worthy causes.
