Karen currently serves as Pharma Manufacturing's Chief Content Director. Formerly the Editor-in-Chief of Food Manufacturing magazine, Karen was particularly successful at eating all of the snacks that were mailed to her from food companies, as well as reaching readers through the magazine's digital platforms, launching the brand's first daily newsletter. She made the decision to trade food for drugs in 2013, when she joined Putman Media as the Digital Content Manager for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing.
Karen graduated with honors from Bucknell University, where she played Division 1 softball and occasionally did some schoolwork. Happily living in NJ's famed Asbury Park, Karen is a retired Garden State Rollergirl, known to the roller derby community as the "Predator-in-Chief."
As an editor with 20+ years experience in the B2B manufacturing space, Karen passionately believes that B2B content does not have to be boring and jargon-filled, and as such, has launched an ongoing mission to keep Pharma Manufacturing's editorial look, tone and content fresh and accessible.
