Karole (with a K) Davis

I serve as a Donor Development Specialist with Habitat for Humanity of Lee and Hendry Counties (Florida) to build, nurture, and sustain meaningful relationships and bring people together to build homes, communities and hope.

I enjoy working with individuals, companies and organizations who strive to make a positive difference in our world and have worked with 4KIDS, Prison Fellowship, Harry Chapin Food Bank, and The Salvation Army (Naples) during my nonprofit career.

Before discovering that Marketing and Non-Profit work was my passion, I worked in Human Resources for Fortune 500 companies including Westinghouse Communities, Inc. (WCI) and Lord & Taylor.

Industry experience includes telecommunications, retail distribution, manufacturing, real estate development and higher education as well as high net-worth estate/financial planning, multi-million dollar home construction, Christian radio, national/international internet protocol television (IPTV) and national non-profit organizations.

Early marketing efforts involved volunteer work planning private events from one day meetings and dinners for 75 to three-day conventions for 750.

My Marketing career began in earnest when I began a new adventure, opening my own consulting firm: Esprit de Vie. As a consultant for more than seven years, I worked with clients to develop programs that got results. Clients ranged from manufacturers to builders to a non-profit radio station.
