Owner Kristen Bayne McGaw (better known as "Kris") has a BA in Economics from Rice University and an MBA from UC Berkeley.
For more than 25 years, she served as a consultant and manager for universities and other nonprofit organizations. Her work focused on helping these institutions (1) develop and implement long-range plans, (2) manage financial functions and (3) improve their operational efficiency and effectiveness.
In the late 1990s, Kris and her husband Steve welcomed three boys (including twins) to their family in less than three years. After struggling for years to balance work and family, and to regain order in a previously "organized" household, Kris became committed to a new career path:
helping others gain control over their possessions and papers so that they can focus on the things in life that really matter.
Kris combines her business and family experiences, along with her strong desire to help others, to provide clients with a range of organizing services. She began her new career by taking on projects for family, friends and established business contacts. After completing a wide range of assignments over a four-year period, she formalized her business in late 2009.
SOS Organizing Solutions is fully licensed, bonded and insured. Kris is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) as well as its Seattle chapter.
