Casey Devlin, VP of Sales
We hit the lottery when Laura joined the organization. In addition to serving as our powerhouse Chief People Officer, Laura also led our Global DEI Council. Of her many talents, what stands out to me the most is her approachability, despite the C-level title. She was always just a Google chat or a phone call away - and it didn't matter who you were, or what you needed. She listened, she cared, and she would take action quickly (to either fix what was broken, or build what didn't yet exist). She is simply a phenomenal leader, a slayer of impossible tasks (while making it look like a walk in the park), and an all-around wonderful human being. I am supremely jealous of all those who will get the chance to exist in her orbit next.
Anton Chilton, CEO
Laura helped me lead the organization through an incredibly intense period of change and transformation, providing critical thought partnership, program leadership and HR team inspiration from her first day on the job to the last. We restructured the entire business during her tenure and significantly improved EBITDA performance. At the same time, Laura transformed HR. I appreciated Laura’s steady hand, work ethic, integrity and partnership. She focuses on what needs to be done to achieve the business goals and executes pragmatically while never losing sight of the people making it all happen.
Scott Roth, CEO
As CEO, Laura was a right hand to me and a highly engaged executive who led both the HR and workplace function and also partnered with me on a broader range of operational projects including establishing a company-wide goal-setting practice and discipline, facilitating strategic planning and driving our community involvement strategy. I particularly valued Laura’s energy, versatility, ability to prioritize and execute, candor, and empathetic style. She was someone the executive team relied on for advice and counsel and was a highly approachable leader. I was able to count on Laura to deliver, whatever the problem facing us.
