OUR FOUNDER’S STORY

Kay Tien

Kay Tien is a former ballet dancer who received training from Germany's most renowned ballet figure, the late Prof. Konstanze Vernon, former artistic director of the Bayerisches Staatsballett. After graduating with a Diplom-Ballett-Tänzerin from the prestigious Ballet Academy - the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich, Kay had the opportunity to join the Bayerisches Staatsballett II, but instead decided to transition into the business world two weeks later.

Over the past decade, Kay has built an impressive international portfolio representing clients in various industries, leading successful campaigns for brands such as Monster Products, Thom Browne, Hines, Red Bull, and Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP). At YAGP, Kay increased dance scholarship endeavors worldwide and organized the first-ever Job Fair Audition at the New York City Finals with renowned company directors. In 2019, Kay founded Pivot Pointe to develop innovations that help individuals and brands unlock their potential and transform their stories.
