  In short, Karen is one of the best--maybe THE best--colleague I have ever worked with in my 20 year career. Her intelligence and experience is only matched by her indefatigable work ethic. The very embodiment of the 1st habit of highly effective people (be proactive), she has the uncanny ability to

  learn--then master--virtually any task. Her amazing range of business skill and knowledge was an asset on every project we worked together. I watched her affable personality and unrelenting willingness to help anyone, anytime win over colleagues from custodian to chairman. Karen DiMartino is the "professional" in professional services.

  Karen and I have known one another and worked together the past few years as I have built a relationship with Palladium Group, Inc. through its executive education programs. As one of the charter Certified Graduates from Palladium’s Kaplan-Norton Balanced Scorecard Certification Program, I have had

  the opportunity both to observe and work closely with Karen over time in her role as the program architect for the global certification program. In every case, I have found Karen to be direct and incisive in her critical examinations of strategy theory and practice, and a highly skilled educator, subject matter expert and strategy practitioner. Karen has always demonstrated the highest focus on effective engagements with her clients, and I have only the highest praise for her commitment to maintaining the engagement of the global community of certified graduates. I always enjoy the opportunity to discuss with Karen new developments in strategic and leadership thinking,

  Karen is one of the most creative, kind and collaborative colleagues I have ever had the pleasure of working with. We have worked hand in glove over the past 8+ years and I have learned so much from her. In addition to her extensive background in strategy management—from practitioner to consultant/t

  rainer to developing new and compelling content for public offerings and client engagements—she also has also made significant contributions to our overall marketing and brand strategy. Karen always comes to a discussion or brainstorming session with fresh ideas, out of the box thinking and a presence that allows other team members to freely flow ideas without reservation. There is not a task that Karen has ever shied away from regardless of her workload or expertise. She has been a mentor to many of her colleagues and is always willing to step up to the plate and give 110% to any initiative that is put in front of her or that she brings to the table herself.
