Karolya (KV) Vargscarr (they/them) is a white, queer settler that lives and works on Treaty 1 Territory in Winnipeg, Manitoba. An inclusive leader with more than 15 years’ experience in the social impact sector, KV is the Executive Director Manitoba at NPower Canada, as well as partner and co-founder of Collective Consulting.

Collective Consulting is KV’s queer business offering – it is a national management consulting firm comprised entirely of women and gender-diverse professionals from across Turtle Island, and is focused on the expertise of diverse consultants who remain rooted in Truth and Reconciliation, and the importance of centering it in the work of non-Indigenous Settler and Newcomer organizations and offerings.

In their spare time, you will find KV hiking with their dogs in Southern Manitoba, eating at locally-owned restaurants in Winnipeg, and exploring the beautiful Northern and rural towns and cities throughout Manitoba, with enthusiasm to connect, collaborate, and learn.
