Trove CEO and founder Kelly Carnes spent 12 years in public relations for the Smithsonian and the Kennedy Center, before opening her own boutique consulting firm in 2017, Carnes&Co. She lives in Washington, D.C. with her nerdy husband and two dogs, lives for throwing elaborately-themed parties, and looks forward all year to dressing up for the Renaissance Fair, DragonCon, and of course, Halloween. She is proud to support other women-owned and diverse businesses as Trove grows.
