Profitable Doesn’t Have to Mean Painful

Karen was a valued member of our senior management team. She was a strong and steady voice in our leadership team during our growth and through two acquisitions. She contributed significantly to tactical operations and our strategic market research as we navigated "Crossing the Chasm" during significant changes in our market and client base. Her understanding of both operations and strategy makes her an ideal partner in executive management and strategic consulting.

Few people with whom I've worked seem to have the dedication to the task, the integrity, and the willingness to roll back their sleeves and get the job done. I have witnessed the impact she has had on other colleagues and subordinates. Many people, both within and beyond her official purview, have expressed their sincere gratitude for having her as a resource and influence.

It was under Karen's leadership and tutelage that I gained experience, developed my skills, and succeeded. I hold Karen in the highest regard for many reasons -- her amazing memory, ability to keep a clear and level head in the worst business situations, engaging and encouraging demeanor, and willingness to always see herself as a leader and trainer. She supported me through difficult internal and external conflicts, and I will forever be grateful to her for that. She serves as a model of leadership to me and inspires me every day. Karen's expertise, her loyalty, her ability to communicate complicated concepts and ideas clearly, and her management/leadership ability are unmatched.

Karen had a clear strategic direction for the organization as a whole, and she was able to effectively motivate and mobilize many different functions in order to execute the vision.

Karen has proven to be a consistently strong leader and outstanding communicator. She has an outstanding ability to gather feedback from a large number of team members and educational leaders. She is highly skilled in the ability to analyze the data in detail and quickly turn that data into information that can be used for analysis and decision-making.
