Lauren learned early in her life that failure is part of growth. Rather than stifle her growth by aiming for perfection, she embraced taking on new challenges and has flourished. Lauren has worked for some of the most prestigious academic institutions including Harvard and Wharton Business Schools. Through her work she has traveled to over 30 countries and fostered relationships with global executives and political leaders. She has been tapped for a wide range of roles including Sr. Program Manager for Wharton’s Executive Education Program, Deputy Director for Global Markets, Head of Communications and Outreach for Harvard’s Humanitarian Initiative, Director of Emory’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, and Research Faculty at Georgia Tech’s VentureLab which is ranked #2 worldwide among university startup incubation programs.

On today’s episode, we discuss her remarkable career including:

• Her two year pause in the middle of her senior year of college
• Making a strategic career move to Atlanta after a career of onlyness
• How she draws from past experiences to foster confidence in taking risks

I can’t wait for you to meet this amazing woman. Enjoy!
