About Kristi Schiller

A Bold Life Built on Purpose

Kristi Schiller is a keynote speaker, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and the founder of K9s.org. Her fearless path has spanned luxury media, law enforcement philanthropy, public speaking, and nonprofit leadership. Whether she’s on stage or behind the scenes, Kristi leads with passion, purpose, and receipts.


From Broadcast to Breakthroughs

Kristi’s professional career began in broadcast television and luxury brand development. She quickly became known for blending style with strategic savvy—earning her recognition across the media world. But she wasn’t content staying in one lane. Reinvention is in her DNA.


The Mission Behind K9s.org

In 2010, after watching a Houston officer lose his K9 partner in the line of duty, Kristi launched what would become a nationally recognized nonprofit: K9s4COPs (now K9s.org). Her mission: deliver fully trained police dogs to departments, schools, and hospitals that can’t afford them. The result? 250+ K9s placed in 37 states, countless lives protected, and one hell of a legacy.


A Life Reinvented, On Purpose

Kristi has worn many titles—founder, media exec, mom, survivor, philanthropist—and none of them came easy. Her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and doing what others say can’t be done. She’s not here to impress anyone. She’s here to impact everything.


What’s Next for Kristi?

You might catch her on stage, behind a mic, or in the trenches launching her next mission-driven venture. She continues to speak on leadership, women’s empowerment, giving with impact, and how to turn pain into purpose.
