Jan 2011 – Jan 2016 · 5 yrs · Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area

• During this time, I helped senior leaders and C-suite executives tell their career stories and optimize their LinkedIn profiles, ensuring their professional presence reflected their expertise and leadership. My goal was to remove the fear and uncertainty often associated with using LinkedIn, empowering executives to confidently navigate the platform.
• I acquired my LinkedIn expertise through deep self-study and hands-on experience, working directly with executives to understand how strategic positioning and messaging could enhance their credibility.
• 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀:
• 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – Crafting LinkedIn narratives that clearly communicate expertise and leadership

• 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 – Guiding leaders in using LinkedIn effectively and comfortably
• I found that the same skills I used in my prior work—writing about high-tech medical devices and healthcare policy—applied seamlessly to executive branding and LinkedIn strategy. Both disciplines required:
• Listening actively to subject-matter experts
• Communicating complex information in a clear and compelling way
• Developing messaging that resonates with key audiences
• This experience became the foundation for my executive branding and influence work today, shaping how I help leaders position themselves for career-defining opportunities.

Jan 1986 – Jan 2011 · 25 yrs · Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area

• I have always loved translating complex, technical topics into clear, compelling messaging that resonates with the intended audience. The process of interviewing subject-matter experts, uncovering their insights, and transforming them into powerful business communications has always energized me.
• For over two decades, my marketing communications firm (operating under various names, including Carol J. Kaemmerer & Associates, Brown, Kaemmerer & Associates, and Kaemmerer Group) specialized in high-tech medical devices and healthcare reimbursement.
• 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 & 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁:
• 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 (1991–2011) – As a trusted communications partner to this global medical device leader, I developed strategies and materials for first-of-their-kind therapies and breakthrough treatments in cardiac and neurological care.
• 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 –
• Planned and executed strategic communications for introducing new medical technologies worldwide.
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴
• In 2011, after two decades of stability, my long-term consulting relationship ended when the divisions I served outsourced their entire marketing communications function to a single vendor. As a result, the employees I had worked alongside—those who once engaged me for projects—lost their jobs, and my role as a consultant was eliminated as well.
• During this period of transition, I began helping my former colleagues navigate LinkedIn as they searched for new opportunities. What started as an effort to support them soon revealed a deeper realization: success on LinkedIn isn't random—it's strategic.
• At first, I simply wanted to remove the fear many executives felt about using LinkedIn. But soon, I recognized that this work perfectly combined my expertise in technology, messaging, and business storytelling. What began as an act of service became my next calling: executive branding and LinkedIn coaching.

Jan 1978 – Jan 1985 · 7 yrs · Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area

• As Assistant Director of Health Planning, I worked with the Association's physician members to provide feedback on plans developed by federally-funded health systems agencies in various regions of Minnesota.
• Later, as Director of Research, I supervised quantitative research performed by an outside vendor and staffed policy committees. During my tenure in that position, I wrote 8 consensus papers with the committees I staffed for the Association that were published and used in lobbying efforts on timely topics related to medical practice.
