Welcome! I'm Irene Jena Karthik, a strategist and explorer of systems—both human and organizational.

My journey has been anything but linear. From studying zoology to diving into operations for global insurance giants, from working with global firms like Deloitte and GE to partnering with Infosys and serving Fortune 500 clients, I've always been driven by curiosity: How do things work, and how can they work better?

In my consulting practice, I help businesses redesign their operational ecosystems, bridging the gap between strategy and execution. I specialize in seeing patterns where others see complexity—streamlining processes, building governance structures, and ensuring that big ideas move from concept to completion with clarity.

Whether I'm mapping workflows or analyzing operational dynamics, my work is about discovering simplicity on the far side of complexity. If you're seeking a partner to help untangle operational knots or simply someone who sees the beauty in systems, let's connect.

Curiosity is my compass. Let's see where it leads us next.

My Belief Ecology :

• Simple is usually better than complex

• Every team has unique needs

• Small changes can have big effects

• Good systems help people do their best work

My Build Approach :

• I recognize and build on existing strengths

• Work with systems to diagnose and remove friction

• Collaborate closely to design thoughtful, adaptable solutions

• I seek innovation through combinatorial curiosity to bring in creative ways of seeing through my creative lens as an artist

If you’re looking for someone who sees the big picture but doesn’t lose sight of the details, and who values both people and technology as integral to success, I’d love to connect.
