MEET KARISSA PFEFFER
Former Fortune 500 Finance Leader | Workforce Menopause Educator | Founder, Perimenopause Power
I spent more than fifteen years leading finance, data analytics, and strategic planning initiatives inside a Fortune 500 organization, supporting executive leaders and translating complex business challenges into actionable strategies.
Today, I bring that same business lens to one of the most overlooked workforce challenges affecting organizations: menopause.
Having experienced perimenopause firsthand while leading teams, presenting to executives, and driving business results, I understand both the employee experience and the organizational impact. My work helps companies improve retention, engagement, productivity, and leadership continuity through evidence-based education and practical workplace strategies.
