Gay Browne, Founder & CEO Greenopia 

We have started looking much more closely at operational efficiency & effectiveness at LOVESPACE. Cara and her team worked closely with our management team to build out a comprehensive program, starting with an organisational wide audit and workshops, followed by clear recommendations based on the data and insights she gathered. Cara has worked with us every step of the way as a trusted partner. I highly recommend Cara and her team. 

Will Edwards, CEO Lovespace

Cara doesn’t just give the answers, she teaches the techniques to use time and time again. This helps to discover what your blocks are so you can then move forward.

Catherine Pohl

I highly recommend Cara as an operations efficiency consultant for any company, most, especially if you are a B Corp or NGO.  She is excellent at troubleshooting, and finding areas of inefficiency and developing a plan to review and develop new processes, while supporting people to stay on track.   She has been very helpful for Greenopia and I look forward to continuing engagement with her on our projects.
