Holding a degree in Social and Political Sciences from the prestigious University of Strasbourg, and having worked in Luxembourg the founder of Midas PR synergises her theoretical and valuable experience which, then helped lay a foundation in Thailand. Throughout her experience, Karin understood that in comparison to other business communication strategies, the Return of Investment (ROI) on Public Relations activities were more ambiguous.

With an almost clairvoyant understanding of trends, Karin actively works to understand the social and political atmosphere as well. Though already fluent in 8 languages, the polyglot did not yet speak Thai upon arrival in Thailand. However, Karin rose to and succeeded at the challenge of building business and personal relations in a new country and a different language. Being receptive to foreign cultures and customs helped Karin develop meaningful relationships with colleagues and clients from all nations. She also met her husband Tony, who is Thai. Together, they navigated through the obstacles that non-BOI companies faced. He always had her back and further supported Karin by positioning her at the forefront of Midas PR, and himself as the Chief Operating Officer (COO).
