As a leadership coach, Lauren helps emerging and experienced leaders become even more thoughtful, intentional and resilient—prepared to take on new roles and business challenges, capable of deftly navigating uncharted waters and poised to guide and empower their own people to do the same.
In her most recent leadership role, she served as Chief Brand Officer for BCW, a top three global communications firm, where she helped the organization articulate and activate the corporate brand strategy and employer brand, galvanizing more than 4,000 employees around a collective ambition.
Prior to BCW, she was a Principal at boutique strategic consulting firm Batten & Co. There, she developed purpose-driven brand strategies working closely with executive leadership at Johnson & Johnson, Tiffany & Co. and Bluebird Bio, among other leading companies. Earlier in her career, she held leadership roles at globally recognized advertising agencies Wieden+Kennedy, BBDO and gyro, partnering with clients from Delta Air Lines to Aramark and Lincoln Financial Group. She was fortunate enough to launch her career with one of the admired brands in the restaurant industry, The Union Square Hospitality Group, where she got her first taste of what great leadership, a purpose-driven culture and a supportive learning environment can unleash.
She approaches every challenge with a multidisciplinary perspective, deep sensitivity and voracious curiosity. And, as a former musical theater performer, sometimes jazz hands.
When not coaching in-person, or traveling the world delivering leadership development programs, she can be found in the suburbs of NYC with her partner, their two daughters and way too many cats.
