Carolyn Kepcher Career
While enrolled at Mercy College, she worked as a manager at a restaurant in Manhattan. In 1992, she assumed the role of sales and marketing director at a golf club near New York City, where her main responsibilities included preparing the property for a bank auction.
On November 28, 2006, Microsoft appointed her as a judge for the reality show “Ultimate Challenge,” which aimed to discover the next promising small-business venture. The winner stood to receive $100,000 in seed money, rent-free business space in Manhattan for a year, and software to kickstart their enterprise. Unfortunately, the pilot show was never completed.
Starting in January 2007, Kepcher contributed her management expertise to the nonprofit sector through an association with Graham-Pelton Consulting, Inc. Additionally, in the same year, she began serving as a career advice columnist for the New York Daily News.

Impressed by her innovative ideas for the property, Trump hired her in 1994 as the director of sales and marketing.

Additionally, in this capacity, she held the position of Chief Operating Officer for the Trump National Golf Clubs, playing a key role in the development and management of the clubs in Westchester, N.Y., and Bedminster, N.J.
Carolyn gained public recognition as Donald Trump’s close associate on the NBC Emmy Award Nominated show, “The Apprentice.” However, her tenure with the Trump Organization concluded on August 31, 2006. Moreover, according to reports from the New York Post, Trump believed that Carolyn’s newfound celebrity status had led her to be occupied with speaking engagements and endorsements, diverting her attention from her responsibilities within the Trump Organization. Ivanka Trump took over her role during the sixth season of “The Apprentice.”
