As the founder and owner of BuzzBack, Carol is an experienced senior-level executive with proven success in the management of both established and start-up companies. She started BuzzBack over 15 years ago with a vision for changing how consumers interact with marketers online, focusing on making the research experience fun, engaging and intuitive. In 2015, she received an Enterprising Women of the Year award, recognizing owners of fast-growth businesses who are stand-out leaders in their communities. Carol is a cum laude graduate of Dartmouth College, and her honors theses on TS Eliot continues to be cited in academic works on the author.

Carol will be attending the 10th Annual IWEC Conference, held on Nov. 12-14th in Redmond, Washington, to accept her award.

The 2017 IWEC conference, whose theme is “Connecting Women Businesses Globally: Accelerating Growth through Innovation & Technology”, celebrates a milestone: IWEC’s 10th anniversary. The conference is sponsored by Microsoft and hosted at their corporate headquarters in Washington state.  The theme of the conference is very fitting not only for the venue, but for the emphasis that IWEC places on mentoring, education and cross-collaboration across borders. The conference agenda is a thought-provoking set of panels and presentations covering threads such as “Doing Business in the U.S.”, “Artificial Intelligence” and “Cybersecurity and Blockchain”, among others.

Congratulations Carol!
