Karen is the Founder and CEO of ThoughtDiva. She keeps a low-key profile in her social media accounts which is a major contrast to her professional achievements.

At age 16, she has been a formidable academic tutor focusing on theoretical and applied Sciences and higher Mathematics which helped her generate income alongside multiple scholarship grants while studying at the University of the Philippines.

She started working at big corporations at the age of 20, gaining 15 years of experience in management across 40 industries and 250 companies and campaigns. Her can-do attitude and versatility brought her to different heights of her career as she immersed herself in different facets of business management from Operations, Quality, Training, Sales, Marketing, Software, IT Management, and what have you. Her analytical skills also made her successful in Business Intelligence, Data, Quality, and Project Management. Karen understands business needs having directly handled multi-million dollar projects and, more importantly, she understands people having managed on-site and remote global teams of up to 20,000 headcount.

Karen often talks about the underserved markets that are often ignored or overlooked by profit-oriented business enterprises. With her first-hand experience of the power of advertising and cutting-edge technology, she believes that all businesses no matter their size should be given the opportunity to grow by taking advantage of tools readily available online through the help of an agency providing affordable professional services. This gave birth to the idea of building her own advertising agency.

ThoughtDiva was established with the customers’ needs in mind. In fact, Karen sacrificed not upgrading to the latest smartphone release immediately because of two small businesses who sought ThoughtDiva’s services when the company was just a few days old. Often, big corporations fail to see the human struggle and the heart of the people as they are more focused on getting deals closed in anticipation to move on to the next chapter. Karen, however, is a true blue believer of customers first, company second. Or, in her expanded personal version, customers and employees first before herself—a great reflection of the commendations she received from current and former colleagues.

During her free time, Karen enjoys hanging out with her husband and her son. She considers herself a retired online and video gamer who now focuses on her love for reading, painting, and writing when she’s not fangirling on actors and athletes being a big movie and sports aficionado herself. She loves the constant exchange of ideas by engaging in healthy conversations about everything and anything under the sun.
