Ever met one of those people who everybody seems to gravitate towards? That’s Lauren. Couple that with her ability to see past the common and find unique business opportunities others overlook and you’ve got a pretty powerful secret weapon. Lauren began her career in commercial banking at JP Morgan Chase gaining valuable experience in portfolio management, underwriting, and relationship management. It wasn’t long before she started her own company as an independent strategy consultant for small businesses and startups. As a Corporate Strategy Manager for Brooklyn Boulders, LLC she focused on business development and partnerships. As the CFO for Azeeza, US she built financial forecasts and budgets and improved on the overall business strategy. And while Lauren’s education is all business, a BA in Business Administration from the University of Illinois and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, she’s anything but. With her keen ability to hone in on the non-conventional, Lauren has a secret love of punk music. She’s never met a music documentary that she didn’t love. She likes golf, yoga, and, of course, funny people. In other words, sense of humor ranks high on her list.
