About Karen
I consider myself a therapist and upstander in my work and life. My educational background in business, fine arts and computer sciences have afforded me opportunities in sales, communications, and program management. I've held many positions in IBM, which is why it's a fantastic company to work for, that has allowed me to bring my experience and knowledge to helping sellers with their client's security assessments. Currently, I listen to the seller's needs and provide them with help and guidance in this very complex cybersecurity area. With colleagues, friends and family, I try my best in helping them be their best with support, advice and ideas. I've enjoyed sailing since I was a teen and compete in regattas and cruised around. It's wonderful to be on the water all year round, even during the winter in CT!
