Kelli Greer-Webb loves her work as a dermatologist, and who wouldn't enjoy making women and men feel more beautiful? After medical school at the University of Kentucky, she studied dermatology at the University of Louisville and admits that didn't leave much time for other jobs or activities.
"I did take a year off between UVA and UK and moved to Colorado, where I worked at the Aspen Club, a health and fitness club. Colorado is my favorite place on earth," Greer-Webb said.
Greer-Webb's work at Dermatology Consultants/Skin Secrets, where she performs surgical and cosmetic dermatology, allows her to have a very flexible schedule with few emergencies. This works well for her since she's mother to two young children, Ford and Greer, and wife to businessman Woodford Webb. She also appreciates the fact that Dermatology Consultants/Skin Secrets has a staff to handle the business side of her work because, as she said, "I'd be a terrible business person."
When asked to share something that most people don't know about her, Greer-Webb allows that most don't know she has an identical twin sister, Kristen.
"We are twins, but very different people," she said. "I've always been amazed by how different her perspectives and interests are from mine, but I value her opinion a great deal."
Her sister is currently developing a business plan to open Shaker Mountain Canning Company in the Hudson Valley of New York.
Greer-Webb also acknowledges the strong influence of her mother.
"She's a very independent, strong-willed person with a steadfast moral compass," she said. "She had high expectations of her children, and we always wanted to live up to them."
This influence has carried through to her perspective on leadership.
"I truly believe the best leaders lead by example. You need to be truthful and give it 120 percent of your effort and build trust."
One goal she's had for herself is to compete in the jumper ring at the Wellington, Florida Equestrian Festival.
"It has been a goal my whole life, but with medical school, residency and family, there have been so many obstacles," she said.
Finally, this year, she has wintered her horse in Florida and been able to compete at Wellington several times. In March, she won several ribbons and is still determined to be number one.
"Mostly I'm just proud of balancing family and work with making my lifetime dream come true," Greer-Webb said. "As you might guess, this requires a fairly supportive husband, so Woodford gets some credit here."
