What clients & partners are saying . . .
I had the pleasure of working with Karren on a +/- 78,000 square foot complex construction project in South San Francisco. The project entailed fully building out laboratory and office space on the 18th-21st floors of an occupied high-rise Class A building. Karren oversaw site selection, strategic planning, construction efforts, move management, and facility commissioning for the company’s new corporate headquarters. She was a consummate professional every step of the way and the project succeeded in large part because of her expertise and leadership. I would feel highly confident recommending Karren to any company that’s in need of experienced project management support.

“ I have had the privilege of working closely with Karren Jamaca over the past 10 years while she was at various companies and I can confidently say that she exemplifies tremendous leadership and expertise in a broad range of disciplines ranging from overseeing real estate leasing efforts, negotiating leases, and overseeing tenant improvement planning and construction oversite. On the more technical front Karren has a deep understanding of both technical and regulatory requirements in a life sciences environment. Karren’s proactive approach to problem-solving, attention to detail, and ability to handle unexpected challenges will make her a tremendous asset to any enterprise within the life science industry. ”

“We engaged Karren to manage our many facility projects. She established our safety committee, developed a comprehensive safety training program, and diligently enforced essential safety protocols throughout the organization. Her project management skills are exceptional. She has a great understanding of the building infrastructure required to run our equipment and has transferred that knowledge into our tenant improvement projects. She has flawlessly managed multiple relocation projects including internal moves and two large relocations into new facilities, in two years. Karren’s keen eye for branding transformed our spaces with cohesive designs that aligned perfectly with our company's identity. Her contributions have been invaluable, and we look forward to collaborating with her on future projects. We highly recommend her expertise and dedication."

“ I had the pleasure of working with Karren for six years while at Fluidigm Corporation. Karren’s expertise in facilities, infrastructure planning, construction/build out, and safety was crucial to our large and small projects alike. I felt very fortunate to be able to work with someone with such a wealth of knowledge when we were relocating the business into a footprint four times the size we had. Office workspaces, laboratories, warehousing, cold storage, and facilities controls were seamlessly planned, leading to a successful, timely relocation and revalidation effort. Karren’s professionalism and dedication are tantamount, and I’d happily recommend her for future projects. ”

“ Karren has been such a pleasure to work with. She is our main contact for the janitorial services that we provide our client DeepCell Bio. Due to the nature of our industry and business, our employees regularly work after our client's normal work day. Any time that we have needed to communicate anything late night, after most people's normal work shift, Karren has always been readily available to help answer any questions we may have. She has also been very clear in informing us, with great detail, any special requests our client may have. We at Hygeia have always enjoyed working with Karren as she plays a very important role between DeepCell Bio and Hygeia. She will be a huge asset to any company that gives her an opportunity. ”
- Andy Montero, President, Hygiea
“ It was an absolute pleasure working with Karren during our corporate office move. As a new hire, I was tasked with overseeing the move, office setup, furniture design and acquisition, as well as IT infrastructure installation. Karren's exceptional leadership and expertise proved invaluable to the project. Due to my status as a remote employee and my inability to be present physically, Karren managed multiple subcontractors, furniture movers, and design services for furniture modifications with remarkable efficiency. She also coordinated seamlessly with our landlord and IT team, ensuring the project was completed on time and within budget. We at GreenFire Energy wholeheartedly recommend Karren's services to anyone seeking a dedicated and highly capable project leader. Her contributions were instrumental to the success of our transition. ”
-Cory Draper, Vice President , Asset Management, Green Fire Energy
“ I first worked with Karren when she oversaw the consolidation of the DVS Sciences Sunnyvale site into the corporate headquarters of Fluidigm’s (now Standard Biotools) SSF site. I was impressed by her command of the project, her organizational skills, the care with which she oversaw the move of our critical instruments and how quickly she had us up and running at the new site. Based on this work, I hired her as a consultant for a move at my next startup consolidating 3 small lab/office units into one large 16K sf facility. Once again, she mastered the project. Highly recommend her for any facility projects one has. ”
