Keri Lynn Engel
I write, make things, and collect hobbies. I’m also the mother of two amazing, funny sons.I created Amazing Women in History, write fantasy as K. L. Engel, and have spent more than a decade working in marketing and business leadership.My interests have taken me from knitting lace and composing/performing flute duets, to earning a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and competing in powerlifting. I make kombucha and sourdough, read plenty of fiction and nonfiction, and love trying new things.

Kind words
“While Keri has a great mind for marketing, she has proven she can go far beyond that. She operates more like a business owner, digging into the unit economics, finding opportunities to grow revenue and improve efficiency, and guiding product development - beating ambitious targets along the way.”Kyle Byers, VP of Growth at SmallPDF · Former manager
“Few people can run the full loop from customer problem to shipped feature to acquisition. Keri does, and that's why she can own, operate and grow a product end to end.”Josh Howarth, CTO/Co-founder of Exploding Topics · Former colleague
