Julie Karam, CA

Julie Karam, CA, CEO of CML, is a forward-thinking leader with an unwavering passion for people, innovation, and strategic performance. Initially brought on for a three‐month contract in April 2024—perfectly timed after a recent break when CML needed fresh leadership—her 20+ years in health, community, and corporate services (including 24-hour urgent care) quickly aligned with the organisation’s mission and the Directors' vision. “I came to do a short-term job, but I found a passion for the people and a clear direction for our future—I didn’t want to leave,” she reflects, knowing that the greatest asset isn’t on the balance sheet—it’s the people. “The culture at CML is warm and inviting, like a gentle embrace that inspires you to grow and stay connected,” she adds. With an unconventional approach that drives dynamic workforce development, business performance, and transformative innovation, Julie is fuelling CML’s growth and creating a vibrant, future-ready community.
