About Courtney Stahlin

Results-driven leader with over a decade of experience in program oversight, organizational development, culture building, and enterprise portfolio management. As Director of the Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) at Krause Group, I focus on aligning priorities, empowering teams, and driving initiatives that deliver measurable impact. Highlights include leading a complex Transition Service Agreement following the divestiture of a billion-dollar company and supporting senior talent recruitment through interim HR leadership. I hold an MBA from the University of Iowa with a Leadership & Management Certificate, am PMP-certified, and earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Northern Iowa. Proud wife and mom to twin girls and a baby boy, which is my greatest achievement.
