Carol retired as an General Manager from Chevron in 2014 after 31 years working with the various business lines and the IT Function. During her career within this large global organization, she developed expertise in large scale project leadership, change leadership, people leadership & development, team building, coaching, and strategy development and execution. She enjoyed traveling to far flung corners of the world with Chevron and having the opportunity to meet and lead people in a variety of countries. That experience provided invaluable lessons in the vast diversity of cultures and beliefs around the world, and at the same time demonstrated that at the end of the day, as humans, we are more similar than different from one another.

Carol earned a BS in Business/Information Systems from Cal State East Bay in 1983 and joined Chevron at that time. Prior to pursuing this degree and a change in career, Carol spent a decade working as a nurse & office manager for dermatologists in private practice.

She has found it exciting to apply the skills and experience from her professional life to the leadership of Impact100 East Bay. As a founding member of the organization, Carol served as Vice President from 2016 through 2019 and since 2020 as President. Carol has enjoyed engaging with the many talented women who are members of our chapter, working with our exceptional Board members, and learning more about the serious issues facing the East Bay and how our nonprofit heroes are addressing them.

Carol’s only child is expecting her first baby and she looks forward with great delight to adding Nana to her bio!

Carol wholeheartedly supports the adage that “volunteering and giving back are Chicken Soup for the Soul”. It is a profound honor to partner with East Bay nonprofits who heroically serve those in need in our communities, day in and day out.
