I had the pleasure of managing Carrah Lingo during her time at The Cadmus Group, where she excelled in employee engagement and organizational communications for our clients.

Carrah has exceptional leadership skills in driving engagement initiatives from concept to implementation. She designed and launched multiple successful programs—including a Watercooler channel, monthly Ask Anything sessions, and Coffee & Mingle gatherings—that meaningfully increased employee connection and participation across organizations from 3 hundred to 3 thousand in size.

Her adaptability and problem-solving abilities consistently impressed our clients and team. When faced with challenges, Carrah listens deeply, researches thoughtfully, and creates innovative approaches that address real pain points. She excels at translating vision into communications and engagement strategies that resonate.

Carrah brings a rare combination of strategic thinking and hands-on execution. She’s a self-starter who anticipates needs, builds trust quickly, and delivers results that make measurable impact on organizational culture and employee experience. Often she would begin drafting a deliverable before I even asked her to start it!

Any organization seeking a talented leader in employee engagement or community building would be fortunate to have Carrah on their team. I recommend her without reservation.”

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carrah for nearly two years as an executive communications and change management consultant for an IT organization within the Internal Revenue Service.

Carrah is an excellent strategic communicator and has a unique ability to step into fast-moving environments and create structure where it’s needed most. A great example of this was when she built an executive newsletter on SharePoint from the ground up, developed the content strategy, branding, and project-managed the monthly publication process from end-to-end. She also set up metrics and reporting to track engagement and improve the content based on what resonated with users.

She is a trusted partner to leaders and project teams, and served as a sounding board during many of our internal team brainstorming sessions. She brings a thoughtful, collaborative presence to high-pressure IT transformations and always delivers high-quality work. I highly recommend her to any organization navigating change and would take the opportunity to work with her again in a heartbeat!”
