Stepping Into Corporate Leadership with Karen Perham Lippman Emerge. Evolve. Lead.

This is our 3rd episode, and my guest today is Karen Perham-Lippman who is a dynamic executive and mission-driven business strategist with demonstrated results in diversity, equity and inclusion, corporate social responsibility, community outreach and consumer services in public, government, nonprofit and academic organizations. Karen now lives in Colorado with her twin boys and has one son in college.

We met in the rooms over 10 years when she lived in Connecticut and I have seen her grow into an incredible leader. First as a single parent of her children, then as a sponsor and volunteer in both the sober and non-profit community; and then, by expanding on those skills she developed in recovery, she advanced step by step, into senior leadership in her corporate career.

Karen has been clean and sober since August 31, 2005. And I am delighted to welcome her today to share her insight and wisdom.
