PRESS RELEASE: Kim Spillman takes the reigns as General Manager at Midnyte City

Midnyte City announced today that Kim Spillman, Delivery Lead and Organisational Transformation specialist, will be taking on the newly created position of General Manager from 22 May 2023.

“This is an opportunity to flex my skills in leadership, delivery, communication and coaching to help achieve extraordinary outcomes with our clients and the team,” said Kim. “General Manager is a key step towards achieving one of Midnyte City’s strategic goals; having alumni make a positive contribution to the community by starting their own business”.

“Midnyte City has enabled me to voice ideas, achieve optimum performance, provide feedback and foster an awesome culture. I’m humbled to lead us into the next phase and looking forward to continuing to create an environment where others can thrive and share in that experience.”

“I value connection, community and wellbeing, and strive to inspire and motivate others through my actions. We know that delivery, organisational transformation and effective leadership impacts business success and individual health. Therefore, it is imperative that leaders of people get this right.”

Kim has worked with the Midnyte City founding team of Hannah Browne, Ebony Worth, Henrik Axelsson and Melissa Ngau before. She joined Midnyte City in early 2021 and was the first Midnyte Citizen to win the coveted Most Valuable Player (MVP) award that year. Benny Lo took out the honour in 2022.

“Our vision is to be the best technology consultancy in Melbourne,” says Founder and Managing Director, Hannah Browne. “Kim is driven to uplift our clients’ delivery capability and foster continuous improvement. Her coaching will accelerate the team’s professional development through our leadership and commercial skills syllabus, School @Midnyte, feedback club and one-to-one mentoring. This approach stems from our progressive principles and psychological safety, aiming to teach clients and colleagues how to fish, rather than catch fish for them.”

“We are thrilled for Kim’s move from working in Midnyte to working on Midnyte”, says Hannah. “Kim helped forge our shared values of accountability, human-centricity and growth mindset. Her deep Delivery Leadership experience and aptitude for designing and implementing right-size processes make her the perfect person to drive value for our clients and steward Midnyte City through our next chapter of growth.”
