Our Passion
Being a CEO, we know you get pulled in a million directions each day and distractions are constant. We’re passionate about helping CEOs and their leadership team drive execution because that’s where 92% of executives fail. This is hard stuff! Having the right team and keeping everyone aligned is why CEOs want to work with us!
About Karen
Karen is a CEO Whisperer meets Growth Architect — a powerhouse who traded 70-hour corporate weeks for boardrooms and breakthroughs.
With decades of experience guiding Fortune 500s and mid-market CEOs, she cuts through complexity with the precision of a strategist and the intuition of a trusted advisor. Karen doesn’t just help leaders grow — she helps them align, accelerate, and sleep at night.
As the CEO and Managing Partner of KP Strategies, Karen collaborates with executives to eliminate the obstacles that hinder innovation, execution, and sustainable growth. Her clients describe her as someone who brings clarity to chaos, articulates difficult truths in the kindest way, and consistently delivers results.
Karen is the kind of leader who can scale a 14er and scale a company — passionate about wellness, obsessed with operational excellence, and grounded in purpose. She brings a sharp eye for talent, a keen ear for the unspoken, and a no-BS approach to leadership that CEOs find refreshing, energizing, and essential.
She is a Vistage Certified Speaker, a keynote favorite at conferences, and a frequent advisor to boards and executive teams. Karen also brings deep cross-industry expertise from Healthcare, MedTech, Technology, IT services, Government contracting, and beyond.
Wine is her vice, yoga is her anchor, and learning is her lifelong fuel.
“I believe that the mountains and the yoga mat are more than just personal passions—they embody the essence of balance, focus, and tranquility that I aim to infuse into every aspect of life.
Just as the peaks and poses keep me grounded, I channel that same devotion into working with visionary CEOs who are shaping the business landscape.”
