Carolyn started in the staffing industry over 30 years ago as an employee with Key Resource Group. Within two years, she was managing the direct hire division and founded and managed a legal placement division that is still, to this day, WNY’s premier legal staffing service.

A success story in changing careers, Adrienne has been with KRG for over 11 years and leads the Finance team in the delivery of reporting, budgeting, payroll, insurance management, organizational strategy, and human resources functions.

She and her husband, Matt, make their home in Elmwood Village, where they love the dynamic and walkable neighborhood. Adrienne is the most outgoing and generous person we know and is known to pop into an interview just to say hello.
