Ask Bill and Sean Lynch about Karen and they'll tell you it was serendipity. "We were expending so much time and energy taking care of our clients, that we had less and less time to develop strategies for our company. Shortly after making the decision to recruit some business expertise, Karen appeared. And she is really a perfect fit." Armed with a B.A. from St. Mary's University, an MBA from DePaul University, and more than twenty years of corporate leadership, Karen brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. "She's one of the smartest people we know,- Bill and Sean explain," and she has the talent and the knowledge to enhance everything she touches." In addition to implementing strategic changes to the NHS business model, she oversees revenue growth and employee development on a daily basis. "You can talk relationships and service all you want," Karen explains, "but if the business isn't running smoothly from the inside, you're going to miss some of those opportunities." A proven specialist in optimizing resources and streamlining operations, Karen is also a member of the NHS consultation team. "She knows business, operations, human resources, finances, contract negotiations, and marketing," Sean reports. "Needless to say, there are lots of conversations around the office that end with: Let's see what Karen thinks."

Karen is an accomplished athlete, with six Chicago Marathons and one New York Marathon under her belt, and she also holds the title of Woman's Club Champion at the River Forest Country Club. She and her husband of 21 years have 3 delightful children.
