About Karmen

Over the last 15 years, I've opened brewery taprooms from the ground up, led teams of more than 20 employees, launched new programs, developed brands, built sales strategies that generated more than $2 million in annual revenue, facilitated strategic planning, organized community events, and helped organizations navigate growth. The projects have always varied. The role has always felt familiar: bring people together and help move good ideas from conversation to reality.

What I enjoy most isn't sitting on the outside telling people what they should do. It's becoming part of the team. I like understanding how an organization works, where the opportunities are hiding, and then helping build the momentum to make something happen. Some days that means leading a strategic planning session. Other days it means rolling up my sleeves, solving operational challenges, making introductions, or figuring out how to get an idea across the finish line. I don't mind getting into the weeds if it means the work gets done.

Six Dozen was born from wanting to do that for more than one organization at a time. I knew I had the capacity to make a bigger impact, and eventually felt boxed in being tied to a single one. Today, I partner with businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders across North Carolina, bringing together experience in operations, marketing, sales, leadership, and community building, with one simple goal: to help good people build things they're proud of.
