Karin, a native Oregonian, began her career in retail before transitioning into staffing and corporate roles, quickly establishing herself as a high-performing leader. At Kelly Services, she specialized in clerical and light industrial staffing, managing three of the company’s top ten clients, including Xerox—its largest account. Her success led to the creation of an Onsite Manager role for Xerox, which she pioneered while also managing the Hillsboro branch.

In 1996, Karin was recruited by Xerox to serve as a Project Manager in both local and international accounts, where she excelled until company-wide layoffs in 2000 and prompted her to relocate to Los Angeles as a Federal Account Executive. In this role, she successfully managed the greater Los Angeles region and Clark County, Nevada.

During the recession, Karin continued to excel across diverse roles, including ranking among the top three sales performers in a male-dominated forklift sales team. She later returned to the corporate and technology sector with Time Warner Cable (now Charter/Spectrum), where she was promoted three times over a 12-year tenure to launch new markets in Los Angeles, San Diego, and the Carolinas. She concluded her tenure by relocating back to Oregon to be closer to family.

Known for her strong interpersonal skills and collaborative leadership style, Karin consistently builds trusted relationships and inspires teams to achieve ambitious goals. She is an accomplished executive leader with extensive experience in operations, project management, sales, and market expansion across staffing, technology, and telecommunications.  Karin has built her career through consistent performance, strategic insight, and relationship-driven leadership.

In her free time, she enjoys traveling, paddle boarding, reading, and volunteer work.
