About Laura 

I’m a leadership and career coach who helps purpose-driven professionals lead with more confidence, clarity, and authenticity—especially mid-career women navigating pivotal moments in their leadership and career journeys.

I support leaders within high-growth and mission-driven organizations and partner with companies looking to develop and retain their top talent through coaching. My work blends mindset and behavior change, helping clients step into more aligned and impactful leadership.

Before launching my coaching practice, I spent over 20 years in leadership roles in the tech and higher education sectors, including 15 years at Stanford Graduate School of Business. There, I led alumni career strategy and coached hundreds of students and alumni worldwide, helping them pursue lives and careers of meaning and impact. Earlier in my career, I managed teams and marketing campaigns at Intel, where I discovered a deep passion for developing people’s potential—a realization that ultimately led me to coaching.

I received my MBA from UCLA Anderson and my BA in English Literature from the University of Virginia. I am certified by the Co-Active Training Institute (CPCC) and draw on a range of research-backed tools and frameworks in my practice.

After living and working in Silicon Valley for many years, I now live in Denver, Colorado with my husband and two teenage sons. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me outside—walking, hiking, or savoring Colorado’s seasons.
