# Kim Snyder

> Kim Snyder is the founder and CEO of KlariVis, a Roanoke-based data intelligence company built from a frustration she knew firsthand as a community bank CFO: banks had abundant information but struggled to turn it into timely decisions. After Valley Bank was sold in 2015, she founded a consulting firm, saw the same data problem recur across dozens of institutions, and launched KlariVis in early 2020. The company later raised an $11 million Series B, expanded across the United States, and earned three consecutive appearances on the Inc. 5000 through 2026.
