Karin Abarbanel

Karin is an entrepreneur, author, and expert on women’s start-up strategies. She has a warm, can-do speaking style and a passion for helping women realize their dreams. A small-business owner herself, she started her own solo communications firm in the 1990s because she craved a more independent work life and wanted to spend time with her son.

 

She loves the flexibility her business gives her and champions this choice for other women. As a start-up expert, she knows firsthand the demands involved and is committed to arming women emotionally for the ups and downs they’ll face during their launch.

 

Karin was selected by The Avon Corporation as spokeswoman for its “Corporation to Cottage” program. She has appeared on broadcast/cable TV and radio as a guest expert – and has been featured on ABC TV’s “Good Morning America,” CNBC, and WCBS.

In addition to co-authoring Birthing the Elephant, Karin has published four other how-to guides, including How to Succeed on Your Own (Henry Holt) and The Dollar Bill Knows No Sex (McGraw-Hill) -- the “rags-to-riches” story of a female entrepreneur.

 

Karin speaks widely on women’s issues and has spoken at forums including AWED’s Women in Business Conference, Women Inc., the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE), Equitable Life, and Columbia University.

 

Karin received her MA from Columbia University and a BA from Middlebury College.
She lives in Montclair New Jersey with her husband, son, and her nonvirtual assistant,
Dr. Watson, a sheepdog-shepherd mix who holds a PhD. in Snackology.
