Co-founder

Kristine Boedigheimer

While her daughters were young, Kristine struggled with the desire to “do it all”.  She wanted a great career AND to be a great mom and wife. She believed there was a better way to work but failed to find it in traditional workplaces. She co-founded Brillect in part to be that connection between finance and accounting leaders and high-performing professionals who desire more flexibility than traditional employment provides.

Kristine earned her BSB in Accounting and MBA (Finance emphasis) from the Carlson School of Management, currently serves on the Alumni Board of the Carlson School of Management, and is also a CPA (inactive). She began her career in audit at Arthur Andersen and Deloitte and spent 18 years in Accounting, FP&A, and Treasury at Target Corporation.
