Karin Meyer

Summary

I thrive at the intersection of business, technology and purpose. I have extensive experience in all phases of product creation including business formation and management, strategic planning, roadmap development, investment and budget management, product strategy, technical architecture, execution management, and introduction of revolutionary technology shifts. I have a passion for driving social and organizational change and leading disruptive growth initiatives. I have worked in the radically different cultures of start-ups, Fortune 500 firms and non-profits. I pride myself in being able to craft strategies and execution paths in each of these environments that can be successfully delivered within the existing resource constraints and business conditions. I recently completed a self-directed graduate program at Stanford University, with an emphasis on social innovation: causes of social injustice, methodologies and management structures to drive effective social change, and the ethical considerations surrounding both technical and non-technical interventions. I currently serve as advisor and board member to a portfolio of mission-driven organizations. Prior to my current work, I was CEO of a start-up in the talent industry. I have also worked in senior technical roles for Intuit and Charles Schwab, where I managed corporate level strategic initiatives (as large as $300M) and led the Women in Technology communities in both companies.
