Fast-talking, funny and pulling no punches, Karen James is a Jersey girl turned social entrepreneur. She has risen through the ranks of the global corporate world while honouring her most important role as a proud single mother and humanitarian. She has built a 10,000-strong community of women within a leading bank with the help of her team, integrated not-for-profit leadership lessons into corporate boardrooms and grown a company from a turnover of $9 million to a turnover of $100 million. Karen is a fixer and a doer who matches head with heart — and makes it everyone's business to do the same.
