From a young age, Karuna was determined to succeed at whatever she put her mind to… from stacking fruit at a green grocer to working her way up to Area Manager with 15 stores with a retail brand by the age of 22. But it wasn’t until she joined the Coronis team in 2003 and made the jump into property sales, that she really hit her straps.

Her gregarious and endearing personality shone through from the outset as she earned the trust of hundreds of clients, often selling their homes and exceeding their expecations. She quickly earnt the reputation of being a clever negotiator and consistent performer which is credit to her attitude of ‘if you’re not happy, I’m not happy.’

After eight years in a sales role and assisting with Coronis’ expansion, Karuna stepped up into an Area Leader position with Coronis, managing seven offices and a team of more than 90 sales specialists, property managers, administrators and support staff.

It was in this role that her passion for growing her team and helping them achieve their goals was most evident, as she transformed several of her offices into the most profitable in the company. Her hands-on approach, attention to detail and profound understanding of customer service earnt her the promotion to Chief Operating Officer (COO) in November 2017.

As COO, her overarching goal is to streamline the business and create more efficiencies between all departments, especially at Coronis’ Headquarters where she oversees events, administration, contracts, recruitment, marketing, operations, Concierge and IT.

The Coronis leadership team have built an aggressive growth plan to hit their goal of 40 offices by 2020, which Karuna is determined to achieve.
