Carleen Durkin
Founder & Consultant
Carleen Durkin founded CD Consulting Partners to help growing organizations thrive in a world where costs are rising, competition is intense, and time is limited.
She works with service-driven businesses—like senior living communities, hospitality groups, and local operators—who want to increase leads, improve operational efficiency, and grow profitably without adding unnecessary complexity.
Carleen's work is rooted in one belief: most businesses don't need more tools, they need clearer systems, smarter strategy, and reliable execution.
With deep experience in sales growth, customer relationship strategy, and performance-based marketing, she helps teams uncover what's working, fix what isn't, and build scalable pathways to growth.
