Karen Howard, Director of Marketing – MSD

Strategist, alternative futurist & adventurer.

A driven executive with a successful track record of over 15+ years of growing business in a highly regulated environment. She thrives on finding new ways of working and helps organisations to flex and evolve to meet the ever-changing demands of customers and employees. She has a healthy disrespect for hierarchy preferring to inspire leadership and innovation at all levels. She has an infectious ‘how can we’ attitude that has invoked her to be the disruptor that she is today.
