Blending real-world business leadership with extensive consulting experience

Karen has led a significant programme of change for the VFI and continues to work with us as the programme evolves.
She works directly with me and the leadership team, manages each piece of work, and drives it forward with real energy and focus.
She knows how to manage a complex stakeholder environment and never loses sight of what we are trying to achieve.
Karen is a trusted advisor and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Karen has played a leading role in our strategy implementation ensuring a rapid embedding of the respective pillars of our plan.
She has helped us to foster a highly collaborative programme of work, with a diverse group of stakeholders, using her strategic planning, communication, and governance skills to ensure that we are tackling the right issues.
Karen is well able to convey challenging messages with clarity and tact, which has helped to ensure transparency and understanding at all levels and successful implementation.

Thanks to Karen, our sales and marketing strategy is now focused and targeted.
Karen helped us to segment our customers to target our offerings more effectively. She provided customer-focused feedback across multiple channels, focusing on language, tone of voice, and structure.
Her guidance and expertise helped us to create clear and engaging case studies and collateral that highlighted our strengths and value we bring to our clients.

Daniel O' Donohoe
Director,
SWS Forestry
The strategy work led by Karen Walsh has set SWS Forestry on a renewed path of purpose and success.
Through rigorous research and extensive consultation, Karen delivered a comprehensive diagnosis and bespoke strategy that directly addressed our needs while unlocking opportunities to diversify our business lines, particularly in biodiversity and sustainability services.
Our team embraced the process and feel ownership of the strategy, which has positioned us to lead with confidence in an evolving sector.
Helen Mahon
Programme Director,
Business & Digital Transformation
I had the pleasure of working with Karen on a high-pressure, future-focused [retail transformation] programme that required determination, drive and vision.
Karen possesses all three. Karen took challenges, easily broke them down to their component parts and drove her teams to deliver. Her clear and concise communication was admired by her peers and the teams that she managed.
Karen’s stakeholders held her in high esteem as her oversight and forthright reporting gave consistent messages across teams while she drove quality delivery of her and her teams’ objectives.
I hope that our paths cross again and I get the opportunity to work with Karen again in the future.
