About Us
executive gesture, n. A purposeful, confident non-verbal action; a high-impact strategic move.
The Executive Gesture was created as a time-saving resource for leaders to use corporate giving as a powerful extension of their brand. Retain your best talent, deepen client trust, and build strategic partnerships through gifting—all without losing focus on your core operations.
From sourcing to delivery, we manage the entire process to craft custom, intentional gifts aligned with your industry and values.
Meet the Founder
The Executive Gesture was founded by Kassie Hackbarth to solve a clear problem in the corporate world: business gifting had become transactional, repetitive, and uninspired—when time and bandwidth even permitted sending a gift.
With experience in healthcare and operations, Kassie built her career on the foundation of human connection—fostering trust across patients, multidisciplinary teams, and executive partners. She recognized that high-value professional relationships require that same level of intentional care, yet most corporate gifts felt like an afterthought: generic swag destined for a desk drawer rather than a genuine expression of partnership.
Kassie created The Executive Gesture to transform corporate giving into a personal experience. She believes that true impact relies on two things: impeccable timing and deep personalization. By blending operational precision with thoughtful sourcing, Kassie helps leaders strengthen key partnerships and make every recipient feel truly valued.
