“I have appreciated the opportunity this year to get exposure to the way different social sector organizations are run. More than that, however, it's been valuable building a community through On Purpose, and the weekly training and development opportunities provided have helped me focus my interests for the next phase of my career.”
Kara Furlong
Before joining OnPurpose, Kara worked for 6.5 years at Sunrun, the largest residential solar provider in the United States. She worked in a variety of Operations and Sales Operations roles, from supporting our channel partner network, to managing a team and developing operational procedures, to creating the playbook and executing on new market expansion. She helped the company grow and change from a 30-person startup to a publicly traded company with 3000+ employees.
She moved with my husband from San Francisco, California in order to take part in OnPurpose and to have an opportunity to live and work abroad for a time. Together, they love to travel, and are looking forward to exploring the UK and Europe while based in London.
Kara holds a BA in History from the University of California, Los Angeles.
