Colleagues describe her as "I had the privilege to work directly for Laurel when she joined Rinse as the Head of Corporate Operations. Both at a personal and professional level, I found her to be a great boss – she cared about her team, got us the support we needed to be successful, and expected big results. Her strategic orientation to problem solving helped the Corporate Operations team focus on the tasks that would deliver the biggest impact on product quality and capacity. Laurel excelled at asking the right questions to ensure that corporate projects were well vetted before going before the executive team. She was also adept at holding the team accountable for results while giving us the space to develop solutions, leveraging the full strengths of her team. During the time we worked together, she took what had been a relatively ad hoc approach to corporate problem solving and led us to develop a well-structured and streamlined system for scoping, prioritizing and executing projects. While she is by no means a micro-manager, she would put in the hard work to understand the technical aspects of what needed to get done and was able to effectively advocate for those projects during executive meetings. Also not one to shy away from the physical work, I saw her spend many late nights working the “floor” with operations staff to get a better understanding of our processes at the ground level and then be right back the next morning to meet with other department heads. Fundamentally, what makes Laurel a great leader in my book is her caring, personal approach. I felt that she always had our backs; she supported the team so we could do our best work. I especially appreciated her assistance one of my projects, when she rallied all of Corp Ops to help take evening shifts to launch garment barcoding at the company and give me much needed time to focus on managing the roll-out. I highly recommend Laurel for any organization needing a seasoned operations executive." and "Laurel was an exceptional manager and one that I would easily work for again. What impressed me the most about her leadership style was how she fluidly navigated conflicting POV’s to drive an outcome that all parties could get behind. As a result, this really set the tone for the team. I felt both challenged and able to operate autonomously, which is often a hard balance for leadership to do well. Laurel was able to effectively drive results not only through her direct reports, but that then spilled into a broader impact for the entire org. With a lot of competing priorities that often shifted due to a fast changing environment, she was able to create a focus on KPI’s and OKR’s to implement structure to this type of environment. Looking back on my time under her leadership, I’m proud of the work we were able to accomplish, and know it was instrumental towards the overall success of the company! "
