About Karen Higgins-Carter
As a Chief Information & Digital Officer and board director, I help leaders realize sustainable growth from modernized technology, data, and AI in ways that maintain the same reliable trust they\'ve built over decades.As a strategic partner relied on by CEOs, executive teams, and boards, I bring calm, pragmatic leadership to environments where technology delivery is central to the value proposition and regulatory confidence is non-negotiable. My board experiences give me a clear perspective on practically transforming disparate technology expenses into a cohesive portfolio - balancing short-term earnings with the investments needed for a successful digital future. I started as an engineer and have stayed close to the work ever since, keeping me just as comfortable in a software architecture review as in a boardroom or an investor meeting. That foundation helps me help leaders confidently navigate the high-stakes business priorities, controls, and realities of complex estates, and translate them into clear decisions, accountable roadmaps, and measurable results.Often described as real, relatable, and ready to get to work, I enjoy partnering with and developing leadership teams that are as obsessive as I am about fueling meaningful collaboration, treating innovation and positive risk governance as shared responsibilities, and taking pride in helping people achieve more than they thought possible.
