Kimberly Martin Biggs, a longtime executive in the incentives, rewards, and recognition industry died Aug. 6 in Charlotte after a brief battle with cancer. She was 64. Her career spanned more than three decades in corporate sales at leading global brands.
Biggs built her reputation in corporate sales and brand development, beginning her career with Clinique in the 1980s before moving into senior leadership positions at Godiva Chocolatier, Montblanc, Samsonite, Yankee Candle Company, Orrefors Kosta Boda, and Village Candle Company. She later directed corporate and channel sales at Brookstone, and since 2019 had served as Head of Corporate Sales for United States Luggage Company.

Beyond her professional achievements, Biggs was devoted to her family. She is survived by her husband, Mark Biggs, and daughter, Dr. Kristin Biggs, whose career as a dentist she counted among her greatest joys. The couple shared a love of travel, scuba diving, boating, and rescuing animals.
