Karen Lynch, 43, is the CEO of Belu. Belu was started with the idea that there was a better way to do business by reducing environmental impact and using all profits to fund clean water projects.

Karen joined the company in 2010 and under her helm the social enterprise has increased its annual charitable donations from 拢30,000 in 2010 to 拢199,100 in 2011, far exceeding its target in the first year.
