Carolyn Buck Luce is a well-known figure in the financial world. A senior partner at Ernst & Young, one of the world’s major financial and consulting firms, she has many demands in her professional life. With graceful aplomb, she combines them with a busy family life and a dizzying array of board positions. Many of the boards relate to the concerns of the working professional woman. At All Souls, Carolyn is known as Carolyn Church, the wife of Forest Church.
Carolyn is a Senior Partner at Ernst & Young in the Global Accounts Group and is a member of the Partner’s Advisory Council to the Board. She is also a member of the firm’s Investment Advisory Board. Currently, she specializes in advising multi-national pharmaceutical companies such as Bristol Myers Squibb and Pfizer. Before that, she headed Ernst &Young’s e-commerce consulting program.
She is also a member of the Foreign Policy Association. “I have increasing interest in politics,” she said. “I raised money for the Kerry campaign and hope to do more fund-raising for the Democratic Party in the future. I am treasurer of several boards.” Carolyn is a frequent speaker at professional conferences and served recently as Ernst & Young’s delegate to the Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
