Our Team
The people in the room.
Founders who built AIM because the group they needed didn't exist. Facilitators who run every meeting with the discipline and honesty that make the format work.
Founders & Owners
Founded by owners. Built for owners.
Kellie Andrews
Co-Founder
Kellie Andrews always knew she would be in business for herself. After college, while searching for the right thing, she found herself doing administrative work — and discovered she loved it. When she learned about the industry then known as Executive Suites, something clicked. It was the perfect marriage of two things she cared about deeply: owning something of her own, and taking care of people who were too busy building their businesses to do everything themselves.
That insight became Huntsville Hub, a coworking space and professional home base for solopreneurs and small teams across North Alabama. What Kellie built wasn't just a place to work — it became a community. Employees, customers, vendors, and friends who became part of something bigger than a business address.
Kellie believes the Hub — and AIM — are tools for something larger than revenue. Any success she has achieved, she holds with open hands, grateful for it and intentional about using it to make a difference in other people's lives. It was also through the Hub that AIM found its home. Without it, there would have been no room, no community, and no place for two frustrated business owners to decide they were going to build the group they couldn't find anywhere else.
Ravi Kolli
Co-Founder
Ravi Kolli has been in the information technology business for more than 30 years. He is the owner of Interweave Technologies, a managed service provider that helps businesses of all sizes manage and support their technology needs.
Before AIM, Ravi believed what a lot of us believe: work harder than everyone else and the business will grow. That mindset produced results — until it didn't. Eventually the business plateaued, and the harder he pushed, the less it seemed to move.
Through AIM, Ravi learned to identify the things that actually move the needle, how to scale without just adding more hours, and how to step back and invest in the parts of life that matter most. He co-founded AIM because he wanted that experience to be available to other North Alabama business owners — and because a piece of paper that said “just do it” was never going to be enough.
Facilitators
The people who run the room.
The facilitator is the difference between a coffee club and a real peer advisory board. They hold the structure, ask the harder questions, and make sure every member gets real airtime every month.
Steve Levy
Facilitator
Steve Levy brings more than 45 years of business experience to every AIM session — including over 15 years running his own business advisory practice here in North Alabama, where he has worked with companies of all types across the region.
Before launching his advisory business in 2008, Steve held senior leadership roles at two large multinational corporations. His last corporate position was VP and General Manager of a major business unit — a role that put him in charge of more than $150 million in annual revenue, three manufacturing facilities (two in the U.S. and one in the United Kingdom), over 200 employees, and operations spanning more than 60 countries.
Steve holds a BS in Industrial Technology from Lowell Technological Institute and an MBA from Bryant College.
He doesn't bring that background into the room to lecture or impress. He brings it to ask better questions, spot what you're not seeing, and hold a process that produces real thinking — the kind that leads to real decisions. Between meetings, members have dedicated one-on-one time with Steve to get the coaching and consulting needed to tie everything together.
Chris Gattis
Founding Facilitator · 2013–2016
Chris had helped hundreds of people become successful entrepreneurs. He knew how to hone a business model, analyze its viability, launch a business, and keep it growing. His hands-on expertise spanned finance, manufacturing, marketing, and sales, along with extensive work with local planning and zoning authorities — a unique combination of skills that made his counsel invaluable to his clients.
In 1984, Chris founded Blue Point Strategies to provide advisory services to companies and individuals navigating business start-up, financial and operations management, and site selection. He was also an active speaker, teacher, coach, workshop leader, and frequent talk radio guest, and the author of Business Start-up 101: From Great Idea to Profit…Quick!
Chris passed away in 2016. The format you experience in an AIM meeting still has his fingerprints all over it, and we remain grateful for everything he brought to the organization and to each of us individually.
In loving memory.
