Raised in Boston, USA, Karen travelled Europe, living in Barcelona before settling in Berlin in 1994. She worked at Deutsche Welle TV and a political PR agency, before starting her own communications agency.With an early BA in English and Art History, in 2013, she received her Executive Master’s degree with a thesis on integrating international talent into local labor markets. After co-founding an executive search firm, Karen consulted for startups, international companies and the city of Berlin before helping them develop the Because Berlin campaign in 2018. Recognized as a thought leader in the fields of international communication and global mobility, as well as diversity & inclusion, Karen is a sought-after panelist and event moderator. As well as understanding first-hand the challenges faced by globally mobile professionals, her unique combination of experience and expertise led to the creation of Rising in 2019.
We want to deepen our focus on the Berlin and Asia startup ecosystems and hence we are initiating community partnerships with ecosystem players in both regions. The idea is to support each other for cross-promotion on various communication channels and generally establish a relationship for long term collaboration so our existing AsiaBerlin community can be of help to our community partners in Asia as well.
