Karen Matthews is a motivating and passionate Business Transformation Consultant with over 25 years leading business turnaround and strategies for business growth. Her successes include Ella Bache, Myer, Guess and Freedom Furniture.

Karen knows that businesses who do not continue to implement strategies for business growth and a dynamic approach to business transformation, will lose relevance, stagnate and quickly go backwards.

Karen is well known for her refreshingly unique, inspirational “no BS” leadership style. She continues to amaze her clients with her ability to quickly identify issues and suggest a practical road map forward. She also understands the pressures of the day to day to do lists, deliverables and meetings. Karen’s clients have the confidence not only in Karen’s proven model but also comfort in her supportive and understanding approach.

Change is no longer a choice and is a precursor for success. Karen works with her clients to create the right business growth plan and most importantly on the steps to implement and execute it across the organisation.

Karen will support the leader every step of the way from identification of key strategies for business growth, to the development of a full business transformation road map and mentoring and implementation support as needed. Karen believes timely analysis, entrepreneurial thinking and clear decision making is the key to ongoing business growth.

Recognised by peers as a confident and innovative leader with a massive heart, Karen has received several celebrated business awards including NSW Telstra Business Woman of the Year, NSW PwC Franchise Woman of the Year and PwC National Franchise Woman Year.
