Karen Findlay

Director of Consulting

Karen has a proven track record in helping businesses to strengthen their commercial strategies, and then build the necessary plans and organisational capability to deliver them.

Her corporate career in sales and category at Procter & Gamble provided extensive experience in the consumer goods sector. It was here she first discovered a passion for  building organisational capability, which then prompted her move into consultancy.

With her naturally collaborative style, and her strong facilitation and coaching skills, she helps bring out the best in every team she works with. An accredited practitioner in DISC insights, Karen is fascinated by what makes each of us unique. She loves nothing more than helping clients to achieve their goals, both personally and professionally.

Outside of work, Karen volunteers her time to support local schools and is a director of a multi-academy trust. Having discovered open water swimming a few years ago, she enjoys being at one with nature, the buzz of cold water, and then warming up with a cup of tea and cake with friends.

Books, because I love reading and you can never have too many books.

Thinking things through during a refreshing swim or walk with the dog.

What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
