Ms. Schneider joined the company in 2008 as the on-site Laundry Manager at the Ritz Carlton South Beach under one of the company’s first InSourcing accounts. After exceeding client expectations, Karen’s skill as a “turn-around” and “start-up” expert quickly came in demand. She presently oversees and supports new and existing hospitality accounts including the JW Marriott Grande Lakes shared laundry, several Ritz-Carlton properties including Westchester and Charlotte, as well as the Four Seasons St. Louis and Westin Kierland. Karen has served on industry Task Force Teams and is well-versed in human resources, employee training, OSHA compliance and production methods.
In addition to our full-time team members, we can draw upon CORE's professional resources as needed for various consulting projects, including nearly 100 General and Plant Managers, Operational and Textile Specialists, Engineers and Mechanics, Human Resource Directors, and Accountants.
