Take your brand to new heights with proven experience.
Kara specializes in uncovering the authentic stories of both legacy and emerging brands. By optimizing product portfolios and accelerating innovation, I focus on sustainable growth that aligns brand strategy with consumer needs. My experience spans repositioning legacy brands and scaling start-ups through streamlined processes, consistent growth, and cross-functional collaboration.
At Elizabeth Arden, I revitalized a declining iconic brand by refocusing on its original story and modernizing its identity, leading to 10 consecutive quarters of growth. Earlier in my career, I repositioned K-Y from a medical brand to the #1 intimacy brand, driving its revenue from $30M to $120M. These efforts reflect my ability to connect a brand’s core values with consumer needs, building a foundation for long-term success.
At Elizabeth Arden, I reduced the time to market for new products from over two years to 12-18 months by optimizing cross-functional collaboration. This process improvement ensured speed to market and competitive advantage. Similarly, at J&J, I built processes that aligned global teams, accelerating innovation and ensuring more agile & aligned product launches.
I led global teams at both Elizabeth Arden and J&J, fostering collaboration and a challenger mindset that drove innovation and growth. My leadership brought global alignment to local markets, ensuring success in various regions. This approach was instrumental in turning around and scaling the brands I have led and developing empowered, high-performing teams.
