COOBusiness Consultant
Karen Traversi is a Bay Area based COO & Business Consultant specializing in startup, growth, M&A and other complex transitions or disruptive stages. My expertise in revenue optimization with team alignment and client growth leads to improved effectiveness, increased retention, high digit revenue growth and maximized profit.
I’m a COO and transition expert who partners with CEOs and executive teams during high-stakes moments—whether scaling, restructuring, or preparing for acquisition. With a sharp focus on operational alignment, revenue optimization, and team integration, I bring clarity and action to periods of business disruption or opportunity. My approach is rooted in hands-on leadership and a deep understanding of how to connect strategy with execution.

Having led initiatives for startups and enterprise firms alike—including brands like TMP/Monster.com, Ticketmaster, and Revolution Health Group—I’ve helped secure millions in revenue, improve margins, and build scalable systems. I combine C-suite experience with a collaborative, people-first style that ensures alignment across departments and sustained business performance.
