MY CAREER + LIFE​

​

Hello, I am Karen Rene, an ex-Big4 turned International Leadership Coach (ACC), Start-up Mentor and Business Educator for Young Impact Leaders.

I bring 15+ years of experience in Business and Tech, managing over 50+ teams, and guiding 200+ students/clients/partners across Europe, APAC & North America.

​

During that time, I changed careers 3x times, moved countries (the latest being The Netherlands), built 15+ side hustles, and served as a member of the Aesop Global Digital & Tech Leadership Team; there, I held the position of Head of Global Digital Operations, overseeing the digital operations strategy for Aesop.com ($100M+ ARR), guiding 100+ staff members, 17 markets - top markets included the US, the UK, Australia, Germany, France and Japan.

I am French-Australian (or Fraussie as we often say Down Under), skilled in working with French and English speakers. Most of my clients are Business & Tech Professionals, Scientists and Creatives located in The Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland and the US.

MY INTROVERSION

​

I am an introvert. As a kid, I was always questioned about my need for solitude, my tendency to overthink, and my reluctance to get social for the sake of it. For years, I repressed my introversion; that same introversion that helped me move countries, change careers and thrive in roles I was not seemingly cut out for.

​

At work, I also witnessed lots of sound ideas and possible business breakthroughs being ignored or overlooked - all with one thing in common: they came from introverts.

​

It took me a few years to crack the code and understand how to best leverage my introverted traits (ITs) for career success, and this is precisely what I want to help you do.

If we work together, you will find that my coaching and mentoring embody a range of introverted traits (ITs) including the likes of deep & analytical thinking, active listening, thoughtful networking and empathic leadership; something I would be pleased to discuss further when we get to meet.
