“Kari joined at one of the most challenging points in our organization’s recent history. It was a time of significant transition, financial pressure, and change. From day one, she stepped in with calm authority and a rare ability to both stabilize and inspire. She quickly earned trust from her team and all of those around her. She immersed herself in the business, and took full ownership of the CFO role with both confidence and care.

Kari led the reinvention of our key management processes and helped us build a strong, credible financial and strategic plan for the year ahead. Her ability to dig in quickly, see the whole picture, lead with empathy, and deliver tangible results made a lasting impact.”

“Working alongside Kari for many years, I watched her redefine what modern leadership looks like. She brings an extraordinary blend of courage, clarity, and heart — challenging the status quo while lifting everyone around her.

Kari has a rare ability to see both the strategic and human dimensions of every challenge. She asks the hard questions with empathy and purpose, moving quickly from insight to action. Whether guiding a transformation, leading as CFO, or supporting a team, she brings conviction, transparency, and calm authority.

People trust Kari because she delivers. Not just results, but renewed confidence, alignment, and belief in what’s possible. She’s one of those leaders who makes work feel meaningful and teams stronger simply by being part of them.”
