Envision OBM's Origin
In early 2023, Karissa Doerr found herself surrounded by inspiring friends and colleagues—passionate entrepreneurs whose businesses were poised to make a real difference. Yet, she noticed a common thread: as these visionaries grew their companies, they became entangled in day-to-day operations, project management, and team leadership. Their innovative spirits were being stifled by the very businesses they had created to change the world.
Drawing from her extensive experience in public health project management, Karissa realized she had a unique set of skills that could liberate these changemakers. Thus, Envision OBM was born—a B2B service dedicated to empowering small-to-medium business owners who are passionate about making a difference but feel overwhelmed by operational demands.
Karissa's journey wasn't without its challenges. Leaving the security of a stable job was daunting, but it allowed her to truly understand the hurdles her clients face. This firsthand experience of wearing all the hats in a business—from strategy and operations to marketing and community building—has become one of Envision OBM's greatest strengths.
What sets Envision OBM apart is Karissa's holistic approach, combining professional expertise with a deep belief in overall well-being and aligned work. She envisions a world where entrepreneurs can pursue their passions, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and create positive change in the world.
Today, Envision OBM helps visionary business owners reclaim their time, streamline their projects, and build efficient systems. By taking care of the operational heavy lifting, Karissa and her team free up entrepreneurs to focus on what they do best—innovating and making a difference.
For Karissa, the moment she knew she was on the right path came when she saw her clients’ visions come to life, with her support. Now, through Envision OBM, she continues to be the behind-the-scenes force that allows life-changing ideas to flourish.
