Kaya Stanley

Lawyer

I’m Kaya Stanley, an insurance company CEO, growth expert and attorney with decades of experience turning complex challenges into actionable strategies that fuel success. My work is driven by one principle: exponential transformation happens when you combine the right strategy with the right people. As CEO of CRMBC, California's only restaurant workers' compensation self-insured group, I led a team that took the company from an $80 million deficit to a $20 million surplus, achieved 100% growth in one year, and generated $7 million in just six months, all while driving better work comp outcomes for restaurant owners across California. I also organize TEDxReno, where I coach world-class speakers whose talks have reached tens of millions, and I founded the Singularity Circle, a framework empowering high-achieving professionals to expand their capacity, achieve extraordinary results, and build powerful networks. Highlights of my impact include: ✅ Driving hundreds of millions of dollars in opportunity zone investments, earning recognition as one of the country’s Top 25 Opportunity Zone Attorneys ✅ Saving businesses millions through my book, The Employer’s Guide to Obamacare and consulting services that simplified a 20,000-page law into actionable strategies ✅ Creating the Feed Our Heroes movement during COVID, which united the restaurant community to deliver 36,000 meals to frontline workers and raised $260,000 in just 8 weeks ✅ Representing iconic brands like McDonald’s, Walmart, and Home Depot ✅ Helping Marco’s Pizza grow from 30 to 1,000 stores as General Counsel At the core of my work is this truth: your success is shaped by the people you surround yourself with. Whether hosting a self-insurance podcast, organizing TEDxReno, or guiding professionals to exponential growth, I focus on strategies that inspire action and deliver transformative results. Let’s connect, because the right circle changes everything.
