About Laura
I am dedicated to helping my clients thrive as leaders — and in their careers. As a certified leadership coach, I combine research-based coaching practices with my 20+ years experience in management and marketing in the Technology and Higher Ed sectors.
Prior to launching my coaching business, I was a Director at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I led the strategy and operations for the team supporting 30,000+ alumni in their career development. During my 15 years at Stanford, I coached and led workshops for thousands of alumni and students from around the globe and in all stages of life.
I joined Stanford after several years managing teams and marketing campaigns at Intel Corporation. It was during this experience that I realized I was more passionate about developing people’s potential than marketing products. I hired a coach to gain the clarity and courage I needed to leave my job and embark on a new path. Working with a coach was a transformative experience and inspired me to become one.
I received my MBA at UCLA Anderson and my BA in English Literature at the University of Virginia.
After living and working in Silicon Valley for several decades, I recently moved to Denver, Colorado. When I’m not coaching, you can find me enjoying the outdoors with my husband and two teenage sons.
