Top Women Leaders 2018LEAVE A REPLY
Profile
Laurie joined Element Analytics as a COO in 2021. Element powers digitally-enabled operations for the industrial enterprise.
Laurie brings over 20 years of operational experience, leading data-driven optimization efforts at growth stage organizations.
Prior to Element, Laurie held operational leadership roles at leading SaaS companies including Tealium, MuleSoft and Limelight Networks. Laurie holds an MBA from the Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, a BA in Economics and a BS in Math/Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Laurie is extremely well-rounded, which makes her a fierce leader. As the VP, Revenue Operations and Education, she constantly leads cross-functional projects. Her ability to drive intelligent, thought-provoking conversations allows the business to grow strategically. She is also able to engage multiple teams on a large scale, leverage everyone’s strengths, gather ideas, and execute them flawlessly. Moreover, Laurie can explain complicated processes in a clean, easy-to-understand manner, which is crucial in the technology industry and a fast-growing company. Overall, Laurie has the ability to evaluate multiple pain-points and provide viable solutions that meet everyone’s needs. She serves as an excellent team mate, leader, and mentor to those who work with her.
In Laurie’s role, she is the hub in our organization, connecting and collaborating with sales, marketing, product and our executive team. This is no easy task as that group encompasses a number of different types of people and personalities. Laurie also has great perseverance. If she believes in something that will truly be better for our team and company, she will push for it. She also has great intuition, not only in business but with people. And I believe that is not a quality celebrated enough for its importance. And Laurie gives back to other women in our company. She is part of our Women in Leadership group and was the first to speahead a mentorship program.
Laurie has a knack for establishing scalable processes. It’s very obvious that she is passionate about that, and that energy and enthusiasm permeates all the way to the bottom so you just don’t want to disappoint the progress that she helps build for the company. I also look up to her a lot because she is able to take complex data and tell a story/present the implications that help the business to make important decisions.
Laurie does an incredible job of taking on 10 jobs and still maintaining a positive attitude and a smile on her face. She is extremely fair as a leader, always looks to data to provide the advice she gives her peers and maintains incredible neutrality in an environment where it would be easy to fall off course. She really cares about the sales organization and genuinely wants to see people be successful.
Laurie has a calm, collected and commanding presence. When she talks, we listen. I appreciate her consistent, knowledgeable guidance and desire to produce quality, cost-effective, business-focused outcomes. When in discussion, where other people could easily be distracted by surroundings, Laurie is fantastic about being in the moment and focused on the objective at-hand.
Crisp, disciplined execution. Laurie plans incredibly well then involves the right people across the organization, then executes amazingly well. She ran Sales Op for Mulesoft during a few of their hypergrowth years and we were fortunate to recruit her to Tealium where she has overseen a 400% growth in revenue during her tenure. Amazingly effective SaaS executive.
Laurie is one of those dependable proactive rock stars that every growing company needs. She is extremely intelligent, responsible, on-the-ball and organized. She is diligent and comprehensive in evaluating current landscape and capabilities, and identifying and implementing strategies to improve operations efficiency.
Personally, I love how Laurie takes seemingly “tedious chores” and helps the business understand why they are important. As a busy sales person, I appreciate understanding WHY I need to do something that directly affect my customers… Laurie sees the big picture and she helps everyone around her see it too.
No matter what time of day – Laurie always has the answer – she looks at data through a lens the others could not build – I love her constant need to “improve how we do things” – rare to see an individual who looks so far into the future of a company and prepares the road now
Laurie is very data driven and analytical. Her insights drive many areas of our corporate strategy for sales, marketing and customer success. Tealium’s CEO is reliant on her strategy and leadership. Laurie is highly regarded throughout the organization.
Laurie is exceptionally data driven and uses her knowledge to provide value for the teams she works with. She is so helpful to all who ask, whether it be a small SalesForce question or contracting. Laurie is cheerful and positive and get it done!
Without a doubt, the best word to describe her is “effective.” I have never come across someone so laser-focused and able to make things happen. She’s not shy about using any tool at her disposal for the benefit of the company.
Process optimization, future-thinking, empathy. You can tell she cares deeply for her team and it shows through her work. She’s taken an often reactive role (ops) and made it proactive and deliberate.
Laurie is all about DATA! She is quickly able to find valuable insights into our sales organization, providing us with the ability to take clear and immediate action against revenue opportunities.
