As I was starting at the company, it was so comforting knowing I had a leader like Kari there to guide me. Kari possesses a unique combination of creativity, collaboration and strategic thinking that sets her apart. She consistently demonstrated dedication to delivering high-impact results, with an incredible ability to navigate complex communication challenges while always remaining composed under pressure/tight turn around times. But what truly stands out is Kari’s leadership style. She is a pro at effectively managing people and personalities, thus encouraging a positive culture for every single team member. Her emphasis on fostering a positive and collaborative work environment truly empowered us to step out of our comfort zones, step up and take on new challenges in what was always a safe space. Kari was a great mentor, who was a major influence in helping me grow in my role.", "When I met Kari I was nominally interviewing her to be my boss, and I knew in the first five minutes she was going to be an amazing leader to report into. Yes, her background is compelling, her expertise is astonishing. But her perspective and her commitment to bringing excellent ideas to life while also creating an excellent and supportive environment for her team? Equally as compelling, equally as astonishing. And a rare balance. Kari not only helped the team she led become better champions for content internally, but also allowed us to stretch our interests into new areas. Even after I'd shifted into another role within the agency, Kari remained a trusted source for advice and a regular collaborator. You're not going to find many who are as deft at both brand and creative strategy while also being a tremendous leader of people and a champion of careers as Kari. No, seriously. You're just not going to. She's one of one. And she's amazing.", and "Kari was my mentor early in my PR career, when I'd switched from journalism to a field I was more in the dark on than I'd care to admit. To say Kari helped get me to where I am today would be a tremendous understatement. She took my strengths (writing, research), taught me how to make them weapons for the job I wanted, (persuasion, killer insights), and worked patiently with me, showing me a career is a long, fulfilling journey. Not a sprint to some title or award. She manages teams with the ultimate self-awareness. It's PR, not ER. But any project, brief, or pitch could end up being the thing we're most proud of—that's reason enough to give it our all. And she gets just that from her teams: their very best. Suffice it to say, if you ever snag Kari, give me a ring. I hope our career paths cross again so I can learn even more from her."
