About

Grace Kim James is a marketing executive in the recorded music industry with over 10 years of experience running campaigns for some of today’s biggest artists. In search of a creative outlet, Grace began running and blogging as Lean Girls Club in 2010. Now she’s run eight marathons (that’s 26.2 miles long if you didn’t know), has been featured in TV commercials, brand advertising campaigns, major publications, and even been sponsored by athletic brands. She even speaks to young people. You might just call her an influencer.

Now looking to combine her love of music and passion for running and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, she’s transformed Lean Girls Club into a lifestyle brand under her own name, Grace Kim James.

Grace is currently VP of marketing at Atlantic Records and is based in New York City. She lives with her husband and her dog-son, Brooklyn, in Brooklyn.
