After 25 remarkable years with Clise Properties, Kim Hornung is retiring from her role as Senior Executive Assistant & Office Manager to embark on the next exciting chapter of her life. A few of Kim’s longtime colleagues shared their thoughts on working alongside her for so many years, sentiments echoed by all of us on the Clise team.
Pauline Shih, Tax Manager, writes, “Kim is truly the heartbeat of our office. She has always shown dedication to her work, grace under pressure, and unmatched organizational skills. She also knows how to bring fun into the daily grind of work life. Doing the stair challenge with her during our morning breaks — going back and forth between the 10th and 24th floors — energized me and kept me going for the rest of the day. Kim loves traveling and has visited many places throughout Europe, and it has always been so much fun hearing her travel stories. She is a wonderful colleague and friend to all of us. Happy retirement, Kim!”
Bryan Joyner, President & CFO, adds, “I have had the pleasure of working side-by-side with Kim as CFO of Clise. She has been instrumental in all phases of our company’s growth and success during her 25 years of dedication. She deserves all the accolades she will receive!”
Kavita Sharma, our Controller, shares, “Congratulations to Kim on 25 amazing years at Clise Properties and your well-earned retirement! I’m so grateful for the 18+ years we worked together. You’ve been more than a coworker — you’ve been a wonderful friend. Thank you for all the memories, laughter, and support over the years. Clise won’t be the same without you. Wishing you so much happiness in this next chapter!”
We were grateful to celebrate Kim as a company with a lovely party featuring one of her favorites - oysters. And we can’t wait to see where her kind heart and green thumb take her next. 🩷
