Introducing Carla Higham: Strategic Operator, Digital Marketing Veteran, and Nonprofit Builder
Carla Ravanes Higham brings over 15 years of experience leading cross-functional teams at the intersection of public relations, digital marketing, operations, and business strategy. She began her career in the fast-paced world of public relations in Southeast Asia, representing household names like Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Singapore Tourism Board, and Crocs, and driving brand visibility across regional markets. In 2017, Carla relocated to Los Angeles and transitioned her focus to helping startups and nonprofits scale with intention. Whether she’s stepping in as Fractional CMO, EOS Integrator, or COO, Carla is known for building structure, driving results, and bringing clarity to chaos. Her work spans everything from creative marketing campaigns to revenue systems, influencer partnerships, and full operational restructures.
Most recently, she served as the Chief Operating Officer of a health and wellness media platform, where she launched an AI-powered chatbot to support the mental health of 18–24-year-olds and secured collaborations with universities and government agencies.
Today, Carla leads Deene Strategic Partners, a boutique consultancy known for high-impact execution and mission-driven growth.
