As Co-Founder and Chief Business Development Officer at Included, my mission is to revolutionize human resources through artificial intelligence, ensuring an intuitive and insightful experience for our clients. Harnessing my expertise in strategic leadership at scale plus early adoption of new technology, I've driven the development of technology that democratizes people analytics insights, empowering c-suite, HR, and business unit leaders to make informed decisions swiftly and proactively.Our platform has transformed the approach to people analytics, allowing leaders to "roll out of bed, dive in, and delegate," thus saving time and resources while enhancing employee satisfaction. My journey in the tech space has been marked by a commitment to innovation and measurable impact, culminating in the creation of Included, which stands at the forefront of enabling positive change in workforce representation and leadership diversity at all levels.A proven track record in leadership and innovation:Laura’s career began with a successful trajectory in political campaign strategy ultimately helping elected official obtain office and achieving policy changes for vulnerable populations at the state level. She later founded Close Cohen, a coaching firm guiding executives at leading companies such as Amazon, Apple, and Cisco to strategic career wins, demonstrating that “work is political” and that a calibrated strategy delivers results.Laura has appeared in Marketplace, the Wall Street Journal, and was a featured speaker at AWS re:Invent where she discussed GenAI’s role in workplace accessibility.Limited availability for public speaking & appearances, contact for discovery: laura@included.ai
