About Karen Yetman
I am a seasoned Executive Recruiter with specific expertise in the social sector and have placed exceptional leaders at hundreds of nonprofits, foundations, NGOs and social enterprises since 2007. My early career was spent recruiting across industry domains (high tech, healthcare, consulting, consumer packaged goods) before I switched to mission driven work and I\'ve never looked back. I love knowing that my work is contributing in a small way to the ambitious and important goals of the organizations I serve. I am deeply committed to helping organizations build diverse teams that embrace multiple perspectives and lived experiences and create inclusive cultures that reflect the communities they serve. As a Career Coach I love to connect mission driven individuals with work that feeds their souls and contributes to making the world a better place.
