“Laura’s work with our two Executive Teams and Medical Leadership Team helped shape the direction of our company. Her deep listening, keen observations and guidance made us a better organization, and me a better leader.”

— Alexander Hardy, CEO, BioMarin (Formerly CEO, Genentech)

What leaders are saying…

“Laura worked with our organization over the course of several years as we navigated significant change. Her work spanned leadership team support, 1:1 coaching, and smaller team engagements. Having her as a consistent, trusted presence through that period made us more focused, more aligned, and more resilient as a team.”

— Jack Gallagher, Former VP, Genentech Access Solutions
“Laura delivered a truly exceptional Imposter Syndrome session for our Women @ Gilead Employee Resource Group. She equipped us with practical, actionable tools, and created an open, authentic environment that fostered real psychological safety. She did an outstanding job tailoring sessions for both in-person and Zoom audiences, which allowed us to engage a global community and significantly expand our reach. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. It’s clear the impact extended well beyond the session itself, leading others to bring Laura back to design a session on group facilitation for a different audience.”

— Julie Fogerty, PhD Principal Scientist, Gilead
"When I took on a new leadership role of a global marketing team, the first person I thought of to help design and facilitate our first in-person meeting was Laura. In two days, she helped us accomplish more than we could have on our own — spurring creativity, connection, and trust that carried well beyond the meeting itself. It was so impactful, Laura joined us again a year later to continue the momentum. My team now thinks of her as a wonderful extension of the team at these pivotal moments, and I am grateful for her partnership."

– Gol Newall, VP Global Marketing, BioMarin
"When we brought Laura in, we knew we needed help for our Access LT — but we didn't know exactly what that looked like. She rolled up her sleeves and thought collaboratively with us, meeting individually with each LT member to understand and diagnose our challenges. She helped us activate the team to distribute leadership more broadly, taking the burden off our VP. She continues to support us at key points to ensure we operate as the high-performing team we need to be."

— Susan Fitzgerald, HR Business Partner, Gilead Access Team
“When I joined Jazz, I knew changes to my team were on the horizon. Rather than wait, I engaged Laura to bring the team together — creating space for real dialogue before the change. This built the buy-in we'd need to move quickly once the change was underway. Laura continues to support me and our leadership team, helping us build the trust and shared language we need to lead together effectively.”

– Chumi Khurana, SVP Oncology Franchise Head, Jazz Pharmaceuticals
“I am fortunate to have worked closely with Laura through multiple major organizational changes at Genentech. Without her thoughtful planning, structured problem solving, expert coaching, and courageous candor, we would not have delivered organizational priorities that are so clear, bold and timely.”

— Jonathan Witt, Senior Vice President, Genentech Business Operations
"When conflict emerged on my field-based team, I turned to Laura for both 1:1 coaching and facilitation support. She identified the structural and interpersonal issues contributing to our team dynamics, which gave me real confidence in how to address it from a leadership perspective. Our team had worked with coaches before, but Laura's style and approach were different. She helped us move through what could have been a prolonged conflict with honesty and care. I would recommend her without reservation to any leadership team navigating conflict."

— Teona Pipiya Johnson, SVP Commercial at Hansa (formerly VP of Marketing at Calliditas)
“I will forever be grateful for the special gift of having Laura as my coach during one of the hardest phases in my career. The conversations I had with her anchored me to a deeper core of positivity that kept me going. Laura's empathy, openness, optimism, and relentless support during a turbulent time built my resilience as a leader.”

— Ridhima Tagoria, Genentech Healthcare Market Director
“Laura and her team designed and delivered the leadership curriculum for our 10-month Emerging Leaders Program. The content was overwhelmingly well-received by the 33 public, non-profit and private sector participants. In the two years that our organization has worked with Laura, she has consistently developed meaningful, impactful content thoughtfully designed to meet our organization's unique needs. Her impact on our leaders will far outlast their time in our program.”

– Margi Power, Co-President, Leadership Council San Mateo County
“Over four months of coaching with Laura, I noticed that the critical voice in my head had quieted and my capacity and confidence had increased. Laura helped me think strategically about how to support my team during a leadership transition and demonstrate my readiness for a promotion. A few weeks after we wrapped our coaching, I earned a promotion to VP that I feel prepared and excited to take on thanks in large part to the coaching support Laura provided.”

— Melissa Teng, Product Marketing, Natera
