Kinsey Batten

Kinsey leads the Business Development and Marketing departments at ConGenius. With years of partnership marketing under her belt and an intense desire to learn from the world of construction, Kinsey is a go-to when it comes to running a construction business.

When she isn't learning about construction, contractors, and the latest marketing trends, she spends time with her husband, Tyler, and two kids, Ella and Legend. If she's not in the office, you can probably find her out on the lake with her family or playing volleyball with her "old lady club".
