Old - About Kim Koeller
Due to Kim Koeller's personal diagnosis of celiac disease and food allergies combined with her almost 3 million miles of travel to six continents, in 2005, she founded Gluten and Allergy Free Passport to foster global social change and improve quality of life for those managing gluten free diets, celiac / coeliac and allergies worldwide.
Being 100% gluten and allergy free for over 15 years, Kim continues to be passionate about travel, cultures, languages and food. After working on-site with clients in various countries around the world including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Italy, United Kingdom and the United States, she wanted to share advice on how to safely live gluten and allergy free everywhere.
Kim and the team envisioned, created and produced the pioneering Let's Eat Out Around the World Gluten Free and Allergy Free series of dining translation cards, country-specific travel kits, language guides, ethnic food books (now 4th edition), ebooks and a Apple mobile app - iEatOut.
Gluten Free Passport is honored that this educational series has been purchased by consumers and businesses in 60-plus countries. Over the past 10-plus years, the series has also won 20-plus quality and innnovation excellence awards and has been endorsed by food allergy and celiac organizations worldwide.
As a keynote and guest speaker at industry and consumer conferences worldwide, Kim also educates businesses and consumers on market trends, best practices and the latest research. She has been featured by NBC and ABC TV affiliates, Women’s Radio, Radio New Zealand, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, National Geographic Traveler, Food & Drink and other press across the globe.
Prior to establishing GlutenFree Passport, she was a partner with Accenture, the world’s top ranked management consulting firm, focused on customer experience and emerging technologies for over 17 years. Kim was a practice leader and responsible for technology pilot projects to enterprise-wide multi-million dollar transformation programs with diverse multicultural business and technology teams for public and private sector clients on four continents.
With a Master's in International Management from the Thunderbird School of Global Management and a Bachelors from Purdue University, she continues to consult with cross-industry clients about strategic change, technology innovation and customer engagement solutions ranging from early stage companies to Fortune 500 multinationals. Kim is also one of the founding board members of the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center.
