Speaking Testimonial

"Kari was an amazing guest lecturer in my executive education “Leading Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” course at Northwestern University. She provided my students with invaluable insights from her many years as a leader in the DEI and social impact spaces. Kari is an incredibly dynamic speaker who uses her humility to connect with everyone in the room."

Alvin B. Tillery, Jr., Ph.D., Northwestern University
"Kari's presentation to our tech startup audience was insightful and impactful. With a breath of expertise, her speech inspired and enlightened tech professionals and tech leaders from across the industry. Kari has an effective style and is able to deliver her message with clear actionable takeaways that can be used for effective business outcomes."

Tech Summit
“Kari has an ability to authentically connect with an audience through a rare combination of deep professional industry knowledge combined with welcoming confidence in who she is personally as a mother, partner, and community member. I got to see this combination on display as she delighted our audience of 250+ with a keynote on the role of philanthropy in our society. Her stage presence set the tone for our marquee event when we make our largest annual fundraising ask.”

Full Circle Fund
“Kari held a very insightful session at the inaugural Social Impact World Summit where she focused on the building blocks of corporate ESG. Her breadth of knowledge and approach to simplifying the topic enabled attendees to walk away with actionable steps. This was exactly what was needed for a session covering an emerging practice like ESG.”
