Colleagues describe them as "I had the opportunity to meet Carol Hunter in 2017 when we both were selected for Leadership California’s (LC) - California Issues & Trends annual cohort. Leadership California is a statewide, non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the representation and influence of women leaders across all sectors. In 2017, Carol was appointed to Leadership California’s Board of Directors and became its treasurer. I became LC’s Executive Director that same year. Carol brought her formidable experience and credentials including financial and legal expertise to the organization. She transformed the financial policies and practices, putting the organization on solid fiscal footing. Her leadership skills were immediately recognized, and Carol was appointed President of LC in 2020. She led the organization as it navigated the tremendous impacts of COVID-19. Under Carol’s direction, LC thrived during this challenging time, increasing its reach and impact, while supporting and inspiring the organizations’ impressive network of successful women leaders. Carol is dedicated to the mission, values and goals of the LC and works tirelessly to advance and empower women leaders. She has prioritized building awareness and action around diversity, equity and inclusion for the organization and ensures the principles are integrated in all programs and activities. To mark the organization’s 30th anniversary this year, Carol created a special series to bring in top notch experts to update the LC community on the latest research around the status of women in all sectors and steps women can take to continue to elevate their careers and contributions. Carol is generous with her time and expertise, serving as a mentor to many and an ally to all. " and "I was Carol Hunter’s business partner at NortonLifeLock for six years. Carol ran legal for the $2B, 14-market business across product-legal, marketing-legal, and sales-legal. I witnessed Carol leading a global, diverse team by inspiring commitment and passion for the business and consumers we served. Carol integrated an acquired team from a $2.3B acquisition of LifeLock – no small feat given the compliance and legal issues of this acquisition. Carol’s counsel to her business partners was balanced and objective, enabling the GTM and product leaders to make informed choices. As an aspiring female leader in the organization, I always admired and looked to Carol for mentorship and guidance – Carol was generous with her time and an inspiration to other female leaders. Carol advocated and led by example many leadership and diversity issues & initiatives at Symantec. Carol is not just a technically competent legal counselor but an authentic leader. "
