Kaela Proctor
Senior M&A Communications Specialist
Aprio Advisory Group, LLC
Who I work with
I work across industries with a focus on assisting incoming firms through the merger and acquisition process to successfully combine with Aprio.
My specialty
I specialize in communication, project management and ensuring newly merged teams feel engaged and welcome in their new home.
Results I have delivered
I’ve helped numerous professionals from Aprio combinations navigate the often-challenging process of integrating with Aprio’s systems and culture while helping these teams maintain productivity and build a passion for what’s next.
Unique things about me
I love design and the process of turning my ideas into reality. For example, I recently thought the big window in my living room would make a perfect book nook – so I drew up some plans, got all the building materials I needed and spent the next couple of weeks building my ideal book nook.
When I am not at work
If I’m not working or designing something you can usually find me outdoors. I love hiking, rowing, doing yoga on astandup paddle board, and kayaking. I even went on a five-day sea kayaking trip through the Orka Islands in Washington a couple of years ago, which I highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for their next adventurous vacation.
Affiliations
I earned my Associate’s in Humanities from Santa Rosa Junior College in Santa Rosa, CA and my Bachelor’s in Industrial Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA. I’m also a member of the Atlanta Row Club and a volunteer with Catchafire.
