Karen Wolters
Founder
Karen Wolters began her career as a nurse and worked for ten years in various nursing fields. The next 20 years she lived in Madrid, Spain and Asia. Studying cooking of various countries, she invented and patented a cooking tool with production in Asia.. She began supplying a large MLM company and became familiar with the unique needs of this marketing channel. Little did she know that she had the ability to establish and develop a business.
After returning to the USA, she continued to create additional successful companies, one of which sold into 40 countries. In 2012, the Wolters family created a family office to acquire companies with potential growth. They focused on the hospitality industry and health care industry in the USA and Europe.
When Karen discovered near infrared light technology in the market, she knew instantly that she wanted to create an MLM company that could help people in pain. Thus, CareLight was born. Karen returned to the part of her that loved nursing.
Karen serves on various boards and is frequently a speaker at universities that teach entrepreneurship. She has won numerous awards: Finalist, Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year and Chicago Area Entrepreneur of the Year. Karen is married to her high school sweetheart of 55 years. She has one child and three granddaughters.
