Bio
Marc-Antoni Tarondo, MBA
Karen is a brilliant human being, and a welcome addition to any organization. I had the benefit of sharing my MBA experience with Karen, where we undertook numerous classes and group assignments together. Karen's analytical mind and calm demeanor immediately mark him out as a source of strength and reference for the team, while his technical background offered valued insight to any project. He was consistently able to effectively articulate and support the given objectives, as well as provide a lighter disposition and perspective during moments of stress and intensity. It is a pleasure to recommend him!
