Karen Williams

As Vice President of Corporate Development at Progress, Karen Williams is responsible for the integration of acquisitions, which are core to Progress’ Total Growth Strategy.  As a member of the Corporate Development team, Karen is in lock step throughout the deal process, beginning with diligence. She ensures the success of an acquisition by putting an operational lens on the business at the outset of the deal process to develop the integration strategy, enable a smooth transition for all internal and external stakeholders and hit the ground running when the acquisition closes. Karen’s 20+ years of experience while at IBM, and as a consultant, drives the successful execution of Progress’ M&A strategy.
