Nita Baum, Founder

"Pearl Strategy Partners consulted at b*free during a critical turning point in our evolution. I could not have found a better thought partner, facilitator, guide, or strategic planner with a keen sense of operational excellence, pragmatism and powerful execution than Carolyn Carpenter. She has a unique and delightful way of taking the edge off of your stress; she brings perspective, humor, positivity and experience to her work. She helped us get to launch and I'm ever grateful for her terrific contribution."

"Carolyn Carpenter is a highly strategic and intuitive consultant.  She helped us identify and resolve several challenging issues that were impeding our growth. Carolyn has the ability to understand the company vision and translate our needs into an executable structure. Carolyn's personality is such that she is able to challenge where needed and finesse as needed to help resolve organizational issues.  I highly recommend Pearl Strategy Partners to other organizations.  Even after our contract had ended, Carolyn provided additional resources and contacts which she felt would be useful."
