About Ms. Schubert
Carolyn Schubert is a Managing Director and the Global Produce Leader at Kincannon & Reed, a firm dedicated to recruiting leaders for organizations that feed the world and maintain global health. With over 25 years of experience in the search industry, Carolyn is a specialist in C-suite and Board of Director-level placements. She possesses a rare depth of knowledge in the "field-to-fork" supply chain, helping agribusiness and food organizations secure the visionary leadership required to navigate volatile global markets. Carolyn’s expertise in corporate governance was refined during her tenure at Egon Zehnder, where she served as a Specialist in the Global Board Consulting Practice Group. During this time, she became a firm-wide expert on Sarbanes-Oxley requirements and coordinated complex research projects for Fortune 500 clients across multiple sectors. She later spent a decade as an Associate at Taylor Meyer Associates, focusing on high-level talent attraction and contract negotiations. Carolyn holds an MBA from the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management and expanded her global business perspective through elective coursework at the HKUST Business School in Hong Kong. Her analytical rigor and consultative approach make her a trusted partner for boards seeking to balance governance compliance with strategic talent acquisition.
