“Karlene is one of the brightest and toughest business leaders I have ever known, with a heart of gold. She “walks the talk” by standing for the highest integrity both on and off the clock. Getting to know her is a pleasure because you become entitled not only her business savvy, but her witty sense of humor and mean Gracie Allen impersenation”.
