Christy Kahana

FOUNDER & CEO

 

If there was one word to describe Claria founder Christy Kahana, it would be energy. Christy’s is infectious, and she brings it to every aspect of her work, whether she’s diving in to understand her clients’ challenges, building custom-fit programs from scratch, or bringing content to life in one of her dynamic training sessions. With nearly two decades of leadership development experience in the biotech and medical device industries, including seven years at Sanofi/Genzyme as an HR business partner and talent manager, Christy specializes in helping highly technical people become better leaders, managers, communicators, and teammates. She is an adept storyteller, able to connect big-picture concepts with real-world problems and propel people toward “ah-ha” moments that spark next-level performance.
