Carly is the rare consultant who speaks fluent business and fluent tech, and knows how to make them work together. An operator at heart, she helps founders and leadership teams turn ambitious ideas into companies that actually run: clear processes, smart systems, and AI woven into the work from day one rather than bolted on later.

She’s partnered with organizations ranging from early-stage ventures to established technology companies, building the AI-fueled operational infrastructure, workflows, and systems that help teams move faster, make better decisions, and scale sustainably. With Werq, she brings that hands-on builder’s mindset to our Leading Well with AI practice, helping leaders move from AI curiosity to real infrastructure. Her approach starts with understanding how an organization works, identifying where AI can create the greatest leverage, and translating that opportunity into practical strategies and solutions that empower people rather than replace them.

Before joining Werq, Carly has advised companies such as Axios and Liquifi (acquired by Coinbase) and held leadership roles at AI Leadership and ID.me . Outside of work, she’s usually planning her next international adventure, walking her dog Luke around San Diego, soaking up the sunshine at the beach, or taking a game of bingo far more seriously than anyone should.
