Co-Founder & Coach

As an international business consultant and leadership coach, Karin has worked with companies in Europe, South America, and the US. Some of her clients are leaders from companies such as Saint John’s Health Center, Whole Foods, Sprint PCS, Cisco, Shell Oil, Paramount, and Sony Pictures.

At Best Exit, Karin works with company owners to assess their personal exit readiness. Understanding what lies ahead after the sale is crucial for a successful and smooth transaction.
