Karen Jehanian, founder and CEO of KMJ Consulting, believes that culture is a major differentiator for a company. Entrepreneurial spirit has always come naturally for Karen. As early as 7th grade, she knew that she wanted to start her own business. Now, Karen runs a premier transportation engineering, planning, and consulting firm. Her work and academic experience, including an undergraduate engineering degree and an MBA from Drexel, helped her envision her ideal company. That includes letting employees be independent, achieving their own goals alongside the company’s.
