BEHIND ENTREPRENEUR
Karla's path to entrepreneurship started at the early age of 10. Her father who was a serial entrepreneur helped her start a small convenience store in their garage selling snacks, drinks and cigarettes to employees of her parents home-based wrought iron business. A couple of months later, she had to close shop because a neighbors Nanny decided to open a similar business with more enticing offerings. She learned about competition at a very young age. But she didn't give up on her dreams. Years later, she started another business with her sister.
Now with 20 years of experience serving businesses in the entertainment and consumer products industry at different growth stages -- large companies like Walt Disney's Consumer Products Interactive Division, MGM Studios and Schwarzkopf Professional, mid-size companies in the toy and window covering industries, and small to start-up technology-based businesses some at their early and prime stages of growth and expansion and some who had to go through reorganization, had to be sold or file for bankruptcy -- she understands the complexities of running a business and the importance of implementing product launches that deliver returns to the bottom line.
While at a turning point in her career, she decided to leave her corporate career and revisit her lifelong dream, putting her skills to the test again as an entrepreneur. A defining moment was the inspiration behind the creation of KI Marketing Intl.
All these experiences continue to fuel her passion for entrepreneurship and inspire her to help others achieve personal and business success by getting their products to market in a BIG way.
