With more than 40 years of experience, Carol knows a lot about business and people. Carol has worked in a variety of capacities, from director level technology positions to COO of a publicly traded retail organization.  After exiting her successful corporate career, Carol found her passion in helping entrepreneurs gain clarity on their vision and equip leadership teams with the tools, processes and mechanisms to make change happen throughout the business.  

As a facilitator, coach and guide, Carol is an award winning Vistage chair who has grown her Vistage practice to ten groups; working with 65+ business executives in peer advisory groups and over 100 high potential rising stars in leadership development programs.  Carol was an early adopter of Vistage Leadership Development initiatives and  has launched 6 Emerging Leader and 2 Advancing Leader groups since 2018.  

In January 2024, Carol received Vistage's prestigious award, The Robert Nourse Chair of The Year,  which recognizes the Chair who embodies the phrase:  

"they rise highest who lift as they go"

Over her 8 years of Vistage Chairing, Carol was awarded Vistage Top Chair in 2020 and has received Vistage STAR and Master Chair designations 5 consecutive years and Chair Excellence 6 consecutive years.

While working with business leaders and executives, Carol quickly realized that the more successful businesses had implemented  a structured approach to growing their business, focusing on talent and culture.   She loved the approach, simplicity and effectiveness of  applying tried and true leadership concepts to operating businesses and incorporating Talent Optimization to help guide business success.  

Carol identified a strong need for better understanding of human capital, assessments and tools that could help her clients build strong teams.  In early 2019, Carol became a PI Certified Partner to allow her to bring to her clients the opportunities to improve recruitment, development needs and strategy alignment with tools and talent solutions to optimize human capital opportunities. 

Carol spends much of her time directly engaged with entrepreneurial leadership teams helping them improve operations, talent management and culture initiatives.   She is dedicated to helping companies and leadership teams get better at three things: 

OPERATIONS, TALENT OPTIMIZATION & COMPANY CULTURE.
