Lauren cut her teeth in boutique consultancies leading experience-design & transformational change projects for global clients such as Nike, BMW, Dexcom, and FedEx.

What struck her about project success was not the fanciest technologies, but rather it was the people - both the individuals exploring their own strengths, styles, and voices AND the relational dynamics within a group of diverse thinkers.

Now with 16+ years broad experience in Organizational Design, Leadership Development, Executive Coaching, Org Strategy, Experience/Service Design, Teaching and Adult Learning Theory, Lauren has a keen ability to ask the right questions at the right time. This unlocks confidence, strategic clarity, and potential in teams and organizations.

Emerging and executive leaders from Google, Visa, Noom, Genentech, JLL, and Salesforce have trusted Lauren’s unique mix of boldness and warmth to help navigate their own leadership journeys. Top-tier MBA and Executive Ed students from Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business have signed up for Lauren’s leadership course, which explores the human side of leadership.

Most recently, Lauren scaled Chief’s (Series B startup with $1B valuation) marquee peer-coaching service, Core, by 150% in 1.5 years. This included hiring, training, and mobilizing 500+ executive coaches and developing a refined yet flexible leadership curriculum for executive women across industry, function, and geo.

Lauren received her M.S. in Organizational Learning & Change at Northwestern University. She is a Certified Leadership and Executive Coach with Gallup's Clifton StrengthsFinder and MHS’s EQ-i 2.0 (Emotional Intelligence certification). Common threads in her work use emotional intelligence, systems-thinking, and leader-paradox approaches.

After living in Rhode Island, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, and Pittsburgh, she currently resides in NYC with her fat cat named Tater.
