Meet the Lead Alchemist: Karen Soo
Strategic Transformation Advisor | Global Marketing Strategist | Capacity Builder
Karen Soo is a catalyst for change who believes that the most resilient businesses are built at the intersection of rigorous strategy and human purpose. With a career spanning four continents and over 15+ years of experience in London, New York, Shanghai, and Sydney, Karen brings a rare cultural fluency and "Blue-Chip" sophistication to global corporations, government bodies, and the burgeoning small business and start-up sectors.
Her impact is defined by a unique synthesis of three distinct worlds:
The Global Marketing Strategist: Karen has navigated the high-stakes environments of global icons like IKEA, Warner Bros, Mercedes and Johnson & Johnson. She transmutes this "big-picture" rigor into actionable growth frameworks, helping ambitious start-ups and independent founders architect brands that don’t just compete, but lead with authentic authority.
The Capacity Builder & Knowledge Facilitator: Drawing on 15+ years in tertiary education (UTS, TAFE, Kaplan), Karen operates as a strategic thought-partner. She moves beyond traditional consulting to practice true Knowledge Facilitation—the art of equipping entrepreneurs and small business teams with the strategic thinking and internal capacity needed to sustain their own innovation long after her engagement ends.
The Holistic AdvocateWith a Graduate Certificate in Counselling, Karen integrates psychological resilience into business architecture. She is a tireless champion for inclusive entrepreneurship, transmuting her advocacy work with the Diversity Council Australia and Carers NSW into a coaching model that prioritizes the founder’s wellbeing as a non-negotiable KPI.
Mission: Building Strategic Sovereignty: Karen is dedicated to closing the gap between corporate power and community impact. She is passionate about democratising strategy—ensuring that small businesses and start-ups have access to the same high-level strategic intelligence as the world’s largest brands, allowing them to build "sovereign" systems that protect their energy and their purpose. She transmutes 15 years of global insights into local sovereign ingenuity, ensuring that every transformation she leads is ethical, inclusive, and sustainable.
Let’s create something extraordinary together.
The future belongs to those who can blend strategy with heart. Whether you are a government body seeking program excellence or a visionary entrepreneur ready for your next evolution, we provide the alchemy to turn your vision into reality.
