Karen Budell

“Karen is a world-class marketing leader whom I had the fortune to hire at Momentive, back when the company was SurveyMonkey. She brought every ounce of her strategic marketing brain to the table as my partner in crime on the complex and sensitive rebrand of a public company with a global footprint. She adeptly managed multiple agency relationships, helped steer the executive team through a mountain of change, and proved to be a clutch player throughout the journey. She is super smart about creating impactful content and experiences. I also found her to be an incredibly thoughtful people leader who knows how to structure, lead, and inspire teams - her own team and adjacent teams across marketing disciplines. I would jump at the chance to work with her again. ”

“Karen is one of the best clients I've ever had. My agency has collaborated with her on numerous complex, high-profile projects at Google, YouTube, and Momentive, and throughout every one of those projects, we benefited from Karen's strategic insights, clear direction, and open, collaborative approach. I've personally seen her win the trust and respect of her colleagues at all levels, from individual contributors to the C-suite. I've seen her successfully navigate highly complex organizations, build and oversee very capable teams, and consistently deliver marketing strategies and executions that build brands and drive results. Plus, she's simply a wonderful human being and colleague.”
