Headspring’s CEO, Dustin Wells, notes the synergy he discovered with Karen. “When I asked her about her ideal role, she mentioned Growth, People & Talent, and Relationships. These were the top things I was looking for, and during months of mutual vetting, I found that she has a proven record of delivering all three.”
Karen’s addition represents a new stage of growth for Headspring. She sets a new pace for the company with her approach to problem solving, training and team building, consulting and partnering, and customer relationships. Karen’s experience benefits not just the business, but everyone who works with her.
