“Carly is an incredible teammate. I was introduced to Carly in 2022 and feel so fortunate to have worked with her in the two years since then. Carly has consistently risen to the top of our list of consultants to work with here in Maine, and that’s because Carly is truly one of a kind when it comes to getting projects done in a way that is inclusive and goal focused.

She is strategic, thoughtful, and kind in her work and relationships. Carly is not afraid to dive into projects with aplomb, and she ensures she knows all players at the table through partnership and conversation. She is extremely reliable, great on details, and her ability to connect decisions to the big picture ensures that her work consistently makes a large impact.

Any business or nonprofit organization would be so lucky to have Carly on their team for projects and initiatives that require expertise, strategy, and an inclusive approach!”

— Megan Walton, CEO, Southern Maine Agency on Aging

"As a retired Accenture Consulting executive and a current member of the Board of Directors at the Southern Maine Agency on Aging, I have had the pleasure of collaborating closely with Carly since 2023.

Her ability as a consultant to guide a diverse group of individuals through an advocacy effort to secure passage of legislation in the State of Maine was masterful. She was articulate, insightful, analytical and persuasive; she never took her eye off the group's ultimate goal and was incredibly focused until the final passage of the bill.

Her capacity for simultaneously managing multiple streams of activity is impressive; I wish that I had had her as a member of one of my teams at Accenture." 

— Jim Clark, Former Director at Accenture Consulting and Current Board Member at Southern Maine Agency on Aging

“It is a delight to work with Carly. She is energetic, well organized, insightful and very smart.”

— Herb Janick, Retired Partner at Sidley Austin and Current Board Member at Southern Maine Agency on Aging

“Thank you for all your hard work to make the retreat such a success! Your sessions were fantastic - engaging and action oriented. They were one of the first times I've seen our strategic plan "come to life" - so to speak.”

— Meg Barhite, Participant, Strategic Planning Session

“It has been my pleasure and good fortune to work with Carly Williams for the past year. Carly was the consultant for our agency -the Southern Maine Agency on Aging as well as consulting for all the Agencies on Aging in the state of Maine. Her role was to mobilize and coordinate a campaign to get the state legislature to pass a revenue bill providing vitally needed additional funds to all the agencies to provide critically underfunded services like Meals on Wheels and Caregiver Support Services.

In an extremely tight budget year – with little hope of getting passage of our bill- Carly miraculously succeeded in getting passage of a $3 million commitment to all the Agencies on Aging!!!

I would recommend Carly to any individual or organization that needs a consultant to assist them in any area- she is knowledgeable, professional, organized, has amazing people skills, and can provide quiet and effective leadership to any group.”

— Stephen J. Braverman, Vice Chair of the Board of the Southern Maine Agency on Aging , July 2025
