Kathleen Carr is a Senior Director, Product Strategy and Partnerships at SkillsWave. Colleagues describe them as "Kathleen Carr: An Uncommon Talent It is rare to encounter leaders who embody not the singular but the many required characteristics essential for exceptional leadership. Many of us have experienced working alongside great intellectuals, only to discover a lack of integrity, empathy and self-awareness causing them to lack credibility in the eyes of employees, clients and stakeholders. Then there are those who perhaps have superior technical skills, yet fall short in creativity and clear vision, leaving an organization mired in mediocrity. Every so often however, we are fortunate to collaborate with a leader whose remarkable intellect is complimented by an unwavering commitment to excellence, inventiveness and a genuine belief that the contributions of many make the organization, stronger, more resilient and more customer-centric. Kathleen Carr epitomizes this exceptional leadership. My introduction to Kathleen occurred during our tenure at Boundless Learning (formally Pearson Online Learning Services). During this period, she led product development, while I was tasked with leading growth initiatives. Kathleen quickly recognized that for the company’s business model and go-to-market strategy to be product led, it required widening the engagement to involve a broader group of stakeholders. She tasked herself with being chief advocate for the merits of the product but also created evangelists among those involved. The products were excellent, the approach was masterful. If you have the opportunity to work with Kathleen both you and the work will be better for it." and "Kathleen has become for me the ideal example of professional integrity, humility, dedication and commitment. I had the pleasure of working alongside Kathleen for the past 2+ years on the Product and Innovation Team at Pearson Online Learning Services (now Boundless Learning). In her role as Senior Director of Content & Product Strategy we collaborated closely on the conceptualization, development and launch of digital solutions to meet the needs of our partners and our learners. Kathleen possesses a diverse knowledge base that she was able to use to influence the development of new products & services, related content strategies to support and sales & positioning strategies to sell in these new concepts, directly contributing to the growth and expansion of the business. Kathleen brings a combination of humor and empathy to the corporate space and has a natural ability to lift spirits in challenging situations, keeping her colleagues grounded and focused on the tasks at hand. Innovative, creative, and highly intelligent, Kathleen is a valuable addition to any team lucky enough to have her."
