Carol Balthazar

A seasoned professional with diversified experience in the corporate, entrepreneurial and academic sectors, Carol possessed expertise in policy and program development and management, business and entrepreneurial development, minority and women affairs, and corporate/public affairs/strategic alliances.

Her professional career began in New York where she learned how to navigate the corporate world, and more importantly fine-tuned her natural ability to connect and network with anyone she met.


She brought that knowledge and experience back to Louisiana when she returned in 1993 and founded Balthazar Electriks.


An advocate for small businesses, Carol founded the RiverWorks Business Development Group in 1992 and worked with the Port of New Orleans as its Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) consultant until 2016.
