For more than 10 years, Karen has dedicated her time, talent and treasure to her community through United Way. Since joining United Way in 2010 as a volunteer, Karen has held various positions including Board Chair, Chair of the Governance Committee, and Chair of Community Services Cabinet, and more.
She joined at a time when United Way was transitioning from its long history as a federated fundraiser to an impact organization. While the road was challenging at times, she offered unwavering and solid leadership during the transition. From her time on Community Services Cabinet to amalgamation to her more recent work on the Governance Committee, she has helped further accelerate United Way toward an impact organization.
By day, Karen is a savvy business leader holding senior-level positions across very well-known companies. From Cognos to IBM, to Halogen, to Saba, and to her most recent role at Cornerstone OnDemand where she is the Senior Vice President of Global Customer Service.
