Kylene Pippin

Kylene founded BowTie School Partners after spending nearly two decades helping schools and trusted vendors work together more effectively. Throughout her career, she has helped athletic departments secure equipment, generate sponsorship revenue, and build partnerships without adding more work to already stretched school staff. She created BowTie to turn those years of experience and relationships into a simpler, more sustainable system for schools nationwide. Known for her calm, thoughtful, and highly strategic approach, Kylene focuses on building partnerships rooted in clarity, trust, and long-term success. Her goal is to help schools increase revenue, help vendors grow, and give national brands a meaningful way to support the communities they serve. BowTie was inspired by her sons, Bo and Ty, and reflects the heart behind her work: tying together the people, resources, and opportunities that help students, schools, and communities thrive.
