Prior to launching WorkHerWay.com, Kepcher was Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization and Chief Operating Officer for Trump Golf Properties.

When Donald Trump joined with NBC to produce the reality show, The Apprentice, Carolyn was a natural fit for the position of serving as Mr. Trump’s advisor. Carolyn appeared on the show for the first five seasons. Her hands-on experience in the real world of business gave her a powerful voice to assist Mr. Trump in determining who would be the best candidate for employment at the Trump Organization.

Also, Carolyn is the recipient for the Compass Award from the Woman's Leadership Exchange for shifting the paradigm of how women are perceived in the world.
