Why Work With Karen?

There are many organisations and consultants who can train you in the technical details of the industry. However, if you're looking for something more unique, then Karen's your 'Mann'! Not only due to her depth of experience in Global Organisations, her PhD and scientific publications at the University of Bristol, but also due to her innovative approach in the scientific and technical arena.

Karen has always used her creative mind to solve almost impossible situations, coming out stronger than before. She is a continuous learner and a great empowerer. Her mission is to impart this wisdom to you too, so you can overcome the obstacles you face. She will equip you with tools rather than regurgitation. So, instead of being given the fish to eat, you can actually learn to go fishing yourself!

I help clients achieve business impact from strategy through to operational execution

Worldwide regulatory expertise...

"It was my great pleasure to work with Karen for almost 1½ years at L’Oréal. Karen has excellent communication skills. She's extremely organized and reliable. Her style was open, sincere and inviting for two-way communication which expressed appreciation for teams. In addition, with her high degree of worldwide regulatory expertise, Karen provided great support to Asia Pacific affiliates that I found extremely valuable for Thailand as well. I certainly would recommend her for any areas related."
