Work with Lauren

In growth-stage technology companies, the pace of expansion often outruns the operating model. CEOs get buried in execution, margins slip and investors push harder for discipline.

  • Products and customers scale faster than delivery and talent

  • Roadmaps stall, profitability erodes and boards demand visibility they don’t yet have

  • Stretched leadership slows progress just as investors expect scale

The result is familiar: tired teams, delayed initiatives and growth that under-delivers on its potential.

As a fractional COO, I bring the clarity and discipline boards expect by aligning leadership, restoring momentum and ensuring growth delivers on its promise.

How I Engage

Pyramid Execution Framework

Every engagement is anchored in my Pyramid Execution Framework focused on clarity, capability and culture. Together, these form the backbone that moves organizations from strain to scalability.

Clarity → Vision, Objectives, Key Results
Translate big ambitions into clear priorities and measurable results. Create transparency so boards, leaders and teams know exactly what matters.

Capability → People, Process, Platforms, Data
Build teams that are accountable and equipped. Put the right processes and systems in place, and integrate AI-driven platforms and data so decisions and delivery keep pace with growth.

Culture → Rhythms, Trust, Incentives, Improvement
Establish operating rhythms that keep strategy alive. Strengthen trust and align incentives so teams stay engaged, adaptable and moving forward together.

The Outcome: When clarity, capability and culture are in balance, organizations stop firefighting and start scaling predictably. CEOs focus on growth, investors gain confidence in the numbers and teams work at a sustainable pace.

Why It Works

As a CEO, you can’t touch every aspect of how the organization runs against vision and OKRs. At some point, the details that matter most will start slipping out of reach.

Working with me, you benefit from 15+ years in the trenches with top executives, turning audacious goals into real results. I’m not here to obsess over valuations or the next funding headline. I am here to make execution reliable and results repeatable.

The payoff? Growth feels lighter, the path is clearer and your focus is squarely on the future you’re creating.

When I get brought in, this is what it looks like in practice:

  1. Partnered with the CMO of a mid-market UCaaS company to sharpen customer focus and launch a technology-driven lead engine, aligning sales and marketing and lifting deal flow by 18% in the first year.

  2. Called in by the CTO of the nation’s largest state health exchange to fix a failing enrollment platform, making it easier for people to self-register and saving the state millions by avoiding new call centers

  3. Worked with the CEO of a premier AR/VR entertainment company to align the digital customer journey with backstage operations, creating a seamless branded experience that improved conversion rates and increased guest throughput at flagship locations.
