Yes, a soft redirect to the WMF article may be best, as long as there is mention of this in there.

Indeed. If we can't have an article about the woman herself, insert a paragraph into the foundation article and then redirect [[Carolyn Doran]] to the section that it's in.
The point of the encyclopedia is to provide people with the information that they want. If they're here looking for information on "Carolyn Doran", we should send them to the place where we have the most information about her.
