Krista & Jeremy Carroll
Krista Carroll is the co-founder and CEO at Latitude, an award-winning strategic design agency based in Minneapolis, operating as a social enterprise with the mission to be a Business as a Force For Good.
Jeremy Carroll, a visionary entrepreneur, co-founded Latitude, a prestigious strategic design agency headquartered in Minneapolis. His inspiration for Latitude's creation stemmed from a transformative trip to Haiti, where he and his wife, Krista, discovered their shared commitment to a greater purpose.
Latitude's mission has always been clear: to use business as a force for good, specifically, lifting individuals out of extreme poverty. Jeremy and Krista dedicated 50% of Latitude's profits to organizations aligned with this cause, charting a steadfast path toward a brighter future.
Jeremy embodies perpetual motion and unwavering optimism. His profound belief in human potential drives his commitment to pushing boundaries, and his motto, "fail fast," underscores his iterative approach to life. With an inclination for dreaming big and a talent for collaboration, Jeremy unites people to create meaningful change.
Beyond Latitude, Jeremy and Krista's commitment to building a purposeful community led them to establish North House, a coworking and private membership hub in Minneapolis' North Loop. They've experienced firsthand the transformative power of community in amplifying possibilities and find joy in the collaboration and connections within North House.
As President of Latitude, Jeremy has prioritized innovation and building strong relationships with prospects, clients, and nonprofit partners. He recognizes that meaningful change arises from trust and a deep understanding of a community’s assets and needs. Jeremy's global travels, collaborating with organizations like Healing Haiti, International Justice Mission, Matter, and Opportunity International, have broadened his perspective on how Latitude can make the greatest impact.
Jeremy's curiosity and collaborative spirit also led him to co-found Aroris, a pioneering company that leverages technology and data-driven insights to negotiate payor contracts for private medical practices. This venture reflects his unwavering dedication to effecting change on multiple fronts, using his entrepreneurial spirit to uplift communities one project at a time.
Jeremy loves spending time with Krista and their four kids, Macy, Cole, Izzy, and Jack. They love exploring together and trying new things. Jeremy and Krista are inspired by their children’s determination, faith, and passion for life. They hope to adventure as a family for many years to come.

From her involvement with the community and charities, she recognized that "most problems of humanity can be solved with intuitive and intentional design." The passion for sound design inspired Krista to establish a firm to use the power of design to ignite the business growth all brands need to achieve.

Krista is excited to prove that a different style of leadership can be incredibly effective and to work like crazy to see Latitude’s vision implemented. She does that by applying her strengths in seeing opportunities and developing people to reach their potential. She is naturally an innovative and unconventional leader because she doesn’t come from the agency world. Krista’s talent at using empathy to establish a foundation of trust with clients and employees helps remove barriers to allow for bold, daring, and innovative ideas. The result is an inspired team, confident clients, and, most importantly, positive business impact.
