Katherine Karvelas, M.Ed., M.EdL
President/Founder
As an entrepreneur and consultant, I enjoy and feel very passionate about building companies and working with startups in both the education and business sectors.
Proud to be recognized as a national educator, I have worked with schools nationwide, as they address financial constraints, the new standards and focus on raising the bar and changing the face of education through modes including social-emotional development, analytics and technology integration.
Fortunate to have served in a variety of positions throughout my career, my previous roles include teacher, English department chair, assistant principal, adjunct instructor at two Chicago area universities, Director of Partnerships and professional consultant. As an entrepreneur and business leader, I have focused on working with teams in leadership and human capital, business development and startup operations, development and implementation of data-informed systems and strategic platforms to help define metrics and performance, and met fiscal challenges by aligning resources and identifying new opportunities for success.
Presently, I continue to enjoy working with nonprofits and leading the KCG. I'm simply a people person and just love what I "do." My children and a strong desire to make a difference in the world are what drives me. Working in both business and education and joining forces with people to find their "tipping point" and pave their way toward success is one of the most fulfilling adventures of my life.
