PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF MARKETING, ALLIED KITCHEN & BATH

I remember going to work with my dad on ‘take your child to work’ days and I was always so excited to spend the day with him and see what he did,” Kara Feinberg Cohen fondly recalls. “I can say that what inspired me to work with my dad as I got older was that exact reason: a chance to spend every day together. I have had other jobs throughout the years and since I returned to Allied after taking some time off to have my kids, I feel that, professionally, I have learned the most from him.”

Their typical workday starts with a meeting to review the day’s priorities and job details. “We spend a lot of time coaching our team together and thinking about how we can support and strengthen our employees,” Kara says. “My dad’s usually juggling a bit of everything, while I focus more on marketing. We collaborate often on ads, social media content, and ideas for the website—it’s a creative rhythm we’ve developed together.”

But diff erences will up. “We’re both passionate and have strong ideas,” Kara says. “But my dad gives me a lot of freedom to explore my own
path, which has been empowering and sparked a lot of creativity. At the same time, I never take for granted the wisdom he brings. I trust his
perspective and genuinely value his feedback. It’s a balance, but one built on mutual respect.”
