Featured Leadership & Reviews

Kimberly Tsoukalas, franchise owner, Network In Action Twin Cities

Success in Leadership...

Kimberly Tsoukalas is a seasoned professional with over 30 years of experience in connecting people through strategic relationships.


In 2019, she seized the opportunity to franchise Network In Action (NIA) in Minnesota, launching the Twin Cities franchise.


Kim's approach focuses on building strategic relationships among established, influential business people who can support and refer each other's businesses. Her success is evident in the growth of NIA Twin Cities, especially notable given that she built these groups during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.


NIA Twin Cities, under Kim's leadership, has become the largest franchise in the world, with Kim winning three national awards since fully launching her first active group in July 2020.


The organization has grown to include six dynamic networking groups in the Twin Cities area.

"Highly recommend if you are a small biz owner. I am in a variety of networking groups myself and I can confidently say that NIA has been the most productive and enjoyable.


I have been connected to many types of people I otherwise would not be and the groups themself are very close and loyal. If you have not yet had a chance to connect with Kim get on the phone and find out. If I had to do it over again I would have joined on Day 1."
