About Karen Labat

With a deep understanding of STEM education issues, I build and sustain collaborations that help drive a stronger, more diverse science, technology and engineering talent pipeline for the U.S. workforce, while enhancing our corporate profile within the community. I\'m able to think strategically and effectively manage complex projects involving major budgets, multiple stakeholders and diverse interests. I\'m also a connecter, finding ways to bring together different parties to accomplish a mutual goal. And I\'m always ready to pitch in with whatever it takes to get the job done.
