Kelly O’Brien joined Achilles as Director of Development in June 2022. A lifelong athlete and avid runner, Kelly strongly believes in the positive benefits of physical activity and is dedicated to making exercise accessible to all. She has volunteered as a guide for Achilles athletes since April 2021 and is often still found at the NYC Chapter workouts in Central Park. She has completed six marathons and plans to keep running as many marathons as possible, hopefully with an Achilles athlete by her side.

Kelly is a graduate of Trinity College in Hartford Connecticut and previously worked as a researcher in exercise clinical trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
