Hey there!
I'm Karren, and for over three decades, I've had the privilege of partnering with leaders and organizations to help them navigate their most important asset: their people.
My journey in human resources leadership has spanned diverse and dynamic industries, including digital media, technology, real estate, financial services, electric vehicle charging, and consumer products.
I have honed my expertise in strategic planning, organizational development, employee relations, benefits, compensation, career transitions, coaching, training, and talent management.
I thrive on helping organizations navigate change and achieve their goals by aligning their people strategies with their core business objectives.
Now, I bring this extensive HR experience and a strategic approach to career transition coaching.
I'm passionate about driving excellence and innovation, and I'm here to help you transform your career path or elevate your organization's HR approach to achieve your most ambitious business goals.
Let's connect and explore how we can achieve remarkable results together.
