“Carly is an incredible teammate. I was introduced to Carly in 2022 and feel so fortunate to have worked with her since then. Carly has consistently risen to the top of our list of consultants to work with here in Maine, and that’s because Carly is truly one of a kind when it comes to getting projects done in a way that is inclusive and goal focused.

She is strategic, thoughtful, and kind in her work and relationships. Carly is not afraid to dive into projects with aplomb, and she ensures she knows all players at the table through partnership and conversation.

She is extremely reliable, great on details, and her ability to connect decisions to the big picture ensures that her work consistently makes a large impact.”

“Working with Carly at Fiddlehead Strategies gave our team at the Maine Business School the structure and support needed to have important conversations about our culture and future. Her facilitation created an environment where people felt comfortable sharing perspectives, listening to one another, and working toward common goals.

Through this process, we developed a better understanding of what is working well, where we have opportunities to improve, and how we can continue building a stronger and more connected community within the Maine Business School.”

"As a retired Accenture Consulting executive and a current member of the Board of Directors at the Southern Maine Agency on Aging, I have had the pleasure of collaborating closely with Carly since 2023.

Her ability as a consultant to guide a diverse group of individuals through an advocacy effort to secure passage of legislation in the State of Maine was masterful. She was articulate, insightful, analytical and persuasive; she never took her eye off the group's ultimate goal and was incredibly focused until the final passage of the bill.

Her capacity for simultaneously managing multiple streams of activity is impressive; I wish that I had had her as a member of one of my teams at Accenture." 

— Jim Clark, Former Director at Accenture Consulting and Current Board Member at Southern Maine Agency on Aging

“Your sessions were fantastic - engaging and action oriented. They were one of the first times I've seen our strategic plan "come to life" - so to speak.”

“In an extremely tight budget year – with little hope of getting passage of our bill- Carly miraculously succeeded in getting passage of a $3 million commitment to all the Agencies on Aging!!!

I would recommend Carly to any individual or organization that needs a consultant to assist them in any area- she is knowledgeable, professional, organized, has amazing people skills, and can provide quiet and effective leadership to any group.”

— Stephen J. Braverman, Board Member of the Southern Maine Agency on Aging
