My psychology and business background and multi-sector experience across financial services, consulting, tech and healthcare, has equipped me with a nuanced understanding of change management, diversity equity and inclusion and leadership development at an individual and systems level.

At Deloitte, I consulted with private and public sector financial services organizations on end to end change management, communications, and DEI. At Citi, I worked with the Chief Diversity Officer to roll out a metrics driven, business-led approach to diversity and inclusion firm-wide. Laura also designed and implemented Citi’s first company-wide leadership development program for Black rising leaders.

At Flatiron, I spearheaded the company’s first leadership development program and first talent management and succession process. I’ve built ERG programs from the ground up, and led sponsorship and mentorship programs for Black and Latinx employees. I run Flatiron's executive coaching practice (and formally ran the global executive coaching practice at Citi). I created and currently serve as an internal coach for Flatiron’s leadership coaching program.

My passion for coaching the “firsts” (first-time leaders and managers) and the “onlys” (BIPOC, women, etc.) runs deep. 

Because of my own lived experience, I've found purpose in working with underrepresented, underestimated, and first time leaders at start-ups, scale ups and large enterprises.

My vision has become more nuanced over time, but my why remains the same—I want you to silence the voice that says “no you can’t” and listen to the often quieter voice that says “yes you can.”
