Carol is passionate about business, pets and the intersection of the two. After starting her career as a CPA, over the next 20 years Carol founded and operated three pet companies– a retail pet store, a wholesale distribution company, and a pet product manufacturing company.

She then leveraged her significant experience in both finance and entrepreneurship to start BirdsEye Advisory Group. BirdsEye is a boutique investment bank that helps pet company founders and entrepreneurs with mergers and acquisitions.

Carol began her career as an auditor with Ernst & Young. She has a BBA in accounting from The University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from Southern Methodist University.

She is currently a Trustee at The University of Colorado Foundation, chairs the Engagement/Membership committee for the Denver Zoo Leadership Council, and serves on the board of Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation. She is also a member of the Colorado Chapter of International Women’s Forum.

Her biggest passion is animals, and she is thrilled to share her life with her Eclectus parrot Peri, and Daphne, a sweet, energetic Whoodle. She loves skiing, biking, and Orange Theory Fitness.
