Welcome, I'm Karen

I'm an Executive Advisor and I've been in your seat

Leadership is Measured by Impact, Not by Overwork  

This is my core belief.

I’ve seen that in high-stakes roles, the "old playbook" fails. The pressure to "prove" your worth leads to burnout, not impact.


My work is not about "fixing" you; it's about amplifying the leader you already are. It's about building a new operating system based on authentic authority, strategic clarity, and sustainable success.


We work together to replace self-doubt with self-trust, "managing" with meaningful influence, and "proving" with powerful presence.

Nice to meet you  

I’m an American who’s called France home for over 32 years. My background - 28+ years in international corporate life, culminating as a CEO - gives me a unique lens.


I don't just understand the strategic complexity of global, matrixed organizations; I understand the internal pressure that comes with the title. I know the weight of responsibility, the "second-guessing," and the isolation that can happen at the top.

Today, as an Executive Advisor, I combine both perspectives. My work blends the results-driven, strategic focus of a CEO with the insightful, relational guidance of a true partner.

This is why I created The Leadership Mandate Framework™—my proprietary 4-phase system (Mandate, Map, Momentum, Mindset). It's the practical, proven operating system I use to help my clients build their new playbook.

I am also certified in Positive Intelligence® - a core tool I use to help my clients build the mental resilience to lead with calm and clarity under pressure.

On a Personal Note

I live in France, where I build my days around purposeful work, connection, and well-being.

Mornings start with strong coffee and a healthy dose of exercise.

I believe that when we show up with our full strength and perspective, we become a force that raises the standard—for ourselves, our teams, and the work we are here to do.
