With over 20 years of operations experience in the human learning, performance and coaching space, Carol has a knack for driving results without losing sight of the details — as seen in the successes of the companies she has led.

Beyond her role overseeing daily operations at Koru, Carol heads up the creation and production of program materials and manages logistics and supports program delivery as a co-facilitator for groups in Chinese.

Carol’s strong Taiwanese family values shows in all her interactions as a natural host. She is also something of a tech-geek and the first person our friends call when evaluating a new piece of technology.
