She is incredibly intelligent and persevering in her drive to build businesses and bring in revenue. Her management style was one that pushed her team to always think strategically, work collaboratively and astutely, and deliver real results. Through Laura’s leadership, we were able to tap into new licensing and ad sponsorship revenue streams, to a scale that made CNN/Money’s profitability the envy among other Time Warner digital properties. Laura also always maintained a mature, executive presence that made her respected among senior management through the multiple and tumultuous reorganizations we faced at CNN. And she is revered by those who have worked for her over the years, as I personally have been for her loyalty and sponsorship beyond our time at CNN."
