Biography

Dr. Kimberly Faith Cagle, MS, PhD Dr. Kimberly Faith Cagle is an author, educator, and business leader with more than 20 years of experience helping people and organizations grow. She is the Founder and Lead Designer of Helm & Harbor Advisory, LLC, a North Carolina firm that offers commercial excellence and leadership development consulting, meeting facilitation, and custom eLearning. Her clients include healthcare practices, local governments, and the life sciences industry. Helm & Harbor is built on the belief that lasting results come from relationships, not one-time transactions. Faith and her team work alongside each client as a trusted partner. They take time to understand the client's people, culture, and pressures, and then build solutions that fit. The goal of every project is a confident, capable team that is ready for whatever comes next. The name reflects that approach: the helm stands for steady, clear-eyed leadership, and the harbor stands for the trust and safety that let people grow. Helm & Harbor measures its success by teams that keep performing long after the work is done and by partnerships that last. Before starting Helm & Harbor, Faith led Field Force Effectiveness for North America at Bavarian Nordic. There she was part of two vaccine launch teams, built disease-state training for sales teams, and facilitated at national sales meetings. At America Cornerstone Institute, she built curriculum for Little Patriots and designed digital learning used across more than 20 school districts. She spent 14 years as a school principal and executive director in North Carolina public schools. She also served for a summer as an Academic Dean with the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth in New York City. Faith holds a PhD in Organizational Leadership from Liberty University and an MS in Curriculum, Instruction & Design from Purdue University. She is a 2026 Articulate Learning Luminaries contributor, was an invited speaker at Articuland 2025, and is active in the Life Sciences Trainers & Educators Network (LTEN). Faith is the published author of Fighting Demons While Chasing God. The book follows Caroline and Faith through battles that began when they were as young as six. Through Christian counseling and their faith in the Lord Jesus, they refused to let life's trials tear them down, and they came through stronger, closer to God, and better prepared to face the enemy. The book's message is that no believer fights these battles alone. God is always present, His grace and forgiveness overcome the evil one, and His plan is always perfect. Faith also serves her own community. She is Vice President of the Jade Point HOA and leads a bi-weekly Bible study for the Jade Point community. Her goal is to leave the world better than she found it and to share the love of Jesus Christ along the way. Most importantly, Faith has been married for 27 years and is the proud mother of four beautiful and very talented children. She and her family live in Seagrove, North Carolina, and also spend time on the coast in Beaufort.
