Karen McCullough Speaker Biography


Before becoming a speaker, Karen McCullough worked for one of the world’s most famous fashion brands, Ralph Lauren. That is where she learned the power of a Brand and the importance each employee has in living the brand each day. She soon took what she learned and opened her own retail store, in Houston Texas. That one store grew into a 4-store chain. Yes, she learned well and was great in marketing and branding, and she understood the value in understanding and serving her customers. She created a culture which fostered excellence and engagement- and they had a lot of fun along the way. In 2000 Karen took all she learned all those years in retail and began creating keynotes that delivered excellence and a WOW audience experience. Today she speaks to corporations, associations, and universities across the country delivering her message on Generations in the Workplace and Marketplace, Keeping Up with the Pace of Change, and Gaining the Competitive Edge through Personal Branding.
