Carisa Carlton, Founder
Carisa founded Carlton Research to empower organizations to understand their customers and teams, driving success through cultural insight and global collaboration. Her ability to synthesize complex ideas informs a practical, socially conscious approach to impactful outcomes.
She communicates with precision and rigor, rejecting vague jargon for clear, honest dialogue that demands substance and purpose. Her strategic problem-solving is rooted in cultural and systemic awareness, prioritizing effective, adaptable solutions over rhetoric.
Shaped by three degrees from a top U.S. university (graduating summa cum laude), research awards, books & publications, Carisa’s global perspective—forged through ten years in Southeast Asia, four in Mexico, ten in France, and eight working with the Philippines and Hong Kong—bridges cultural divides. Despite her achievements, she remains deeply empathetic, fostering genuine connection in every interaction.
