“I know Lauren as a mentor, advisor, team member, champion of social impact companies. As a first-time founder I have relied on her guidance and expertise in product development. I have learned from Lauren, by her modeling a mindset of ‘building, measuring, and learning,” how to create a roadmap that is responsive to data. Lauren is one of those rare people with an exceptional ability to balance — to see both the big picture and dig into the operations of execution.”
Elle Rustique, PhD, Founder & CEO, TipBrightly
“She [Lauren] was an effective facilitator, an engaging speaker, very professional and a consummate marketing practitioner. What strikes me the most was her genuine concern for our students, she went out of her way to provide them with the same quality training that she provides to her consulting clients. It is rare to find someone who will spend this amount of time and resources to live up to their promise of making a difference and give back to society. Lauren goes beyond rhetoric and lip service- she’s one of the rare “dreamers who do!”
Vivian Faustino Pulliam, Faculty Lead, Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation
“Lauren … came to us during one of our biggest transitions, and I can say wholeheartedly that the transition would not have been as smooth without her. Lauren is focused on aligning individuals and teams on our mission and metrics. I was pleasantly surprised how well-versed she is about topics, such as gender, power dynamics, etc. She is committed to ‘courageous conversations’ that provide the basis of making a socially-minded company succeed in the long term.”
