About Caroline K. Lenher, ACC

My passion and purpose have always been to support individuals in work and life. In 2017, I realized my dream of creating a world and business dedicated to helping others achieve their goals while dedicating more time to volunteering and giving back.

Prior to starting CKL Strategy, I spent 20 years in advertising and communications agencies in strategy, client and account management, project management, business development and leadership.

My career began in live entertainment, progressing in the industry’s top two agencies over 15 years. As part of agency leadership, I managed regional and local teams and impacted agency growth and operations. I opened and oversaw satellite offices in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, drove new business growth and developed client and partner relationships nationwide.

In the latter part of my corporate career, I moved into social cause marketing, working in government, non-profit, education and automotive industries. Through this work, I discovered my love for developing talent through coaching, training and facilitating.

A New England native, I now live in Santa Monica, CA with Jules “Bug”, my rescue Schnoodle. I am an advocate for the brain tumor community, volunteering as an American Brain Tumor Association peer mentor as well as serving on their Volunteer Leadership Advisory Council and Host Committee for the Los Angeles 5K annual fundraiser.

I am also a very proud “Big” with Big Brothers Big Sisters Los Angeles.
