"When navigating high-stakes crises and complex organizational challenges, Lauren is the strategist and advisor you want by your side. She excels at guiding executive leadership through uncertainty, bringing clarity, structure, and innovative solutions to even the most constrained environments. With a decade of experience partnering with Lauren - from crisis continuity planning and risk management in Afghanistan to operational excellence and business reengineering for global operations - I can confidently say she is one of the most exceptional organizational strategists in the development sector."

Eric Reading
Senior Vice President, Abt Global
"Lauren is an excellent thought partner and advisor at the executive level. She drove the design and development of Chemonics' enterprise capabilities for innovation and investment, and led the foundational work to launch its investment subsidiary, ChemCapital. Lauren is particularly adept at partnering with C-Suites to create new organizational capabilities and entities, and she is highly effective at communicating these new concepts to Boards and Executive Teams."

Jamey Butcher

"I truly enjoyed working with Lauren on aligning our company to be certified to the ISO 9001 quality management standard, and putting in place the different products, procedures, and policies to maintain our compliance. She was proactive, strategic, a truly trusted partner in the process. And we have maintained this standard now for over 10 years, in part thanks to Lauren’s vision and ability to translate complexities into easy-to-follow steps."

Her ability to connect the right people and the right strategy for clear direction and strong management is what contributed to the company's 5x growth."
