(The Conductor)

Director of Operations


What they do in the office

Karl helps our Clients create successful marketing strategies… and makes sure everyone pays their bills on time. As the Director of Operations, he leads client service, Project Management, finance/accounting, and recruiting.

Karl joined Coalmarch in 2010 but he’s been in interactive marketing since 1997. His industry experience includes financial services, social services, technology, and tourism. Karl graduated from the College of William & Mary in Virginia with a BBA in Operations and Information Systems and a minor in history.

After years away from the Mac OS, we’ve brought Karl back from the dark side. He takes detailed notes that would put a court reporter to shame and he keeps us on our toes with his dry sense of humor.
