Karen specializes in operations management and business strategy development for luxury and lifestyle businesses. She founded The Startup COO because she saw that many start-ups need a do-it-all superwoman who is business savvy, understands the struggles of a CEO, able to tackle problems in different business functions, drives growth and gets things done. She can provide a diagnosis of your business, come in to work with you and your team, or act as an incubator for nascent projects and nurture their growth until it is time to hand them off to the right people.
