Kim Estep is a finance executive turned race car driver and author of the debut motorsports romance novel The Apex Between Us (September 2025). As President of Branig Capital Markets and founder of fintech platform KimmyMae, Kim has managed multi-billion-dollar real estate portfolio transactions and built innovative tools for the housing finance industry. At the same time, she has reinvented herself as a professional driver, competing in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car with Kingpin Racing and preparing for the 2026 IMSA season.
A passionate storyteller, Kim inspires audiences with her journey of risk, resilience, and reinvention. She speaks on topics including leadership under pressure, women breaking barriers in male-dominated industries, and the “Apex Mindset” — applying racing strategies to business and life. Kim’s message is clear: it’s never too late to take the wheel and chase what sets your soul on fire.
