Job Titles:
  • Chief Executive
Karen's initial experience with Strata Management came through the ownership of an investment unit she bought some years ago. It was an apartment in a block of 40 where Karen, through an AGM, became aware that the building had major structural issues. This inspired a feeling of responsibility to ensure that her investment - and everyone else's - was going to be secure. Upon joining the Executive Committee, Karen quickly realised that there was a need to provide the unit owners with transparent communication and timely responses. Once achieved, she ensured that everyone was in a position to make informed decisions resulting in the owners implementation of the right plan saving time and money. Fast forward a few years and leveraging her experience, Karen saw the opportunity to realise her core belief by way of Sydney Strata Specialists to establish a strong connection with her clients providing the knowledge, skills and resources to ensure their assets are protected. With over 23 years of experience in financial management, real estate and governance including achievements of a Masters of Commerce degree and 10 years in corporate banking at an executive level, Karen has become unmatched in her field. Combined with her overall life experience as well, Karen is a pleasure to communicate with.
