Laurie is an amazing collaborator, skillful marketer, and creative problem solver. Her positive spirit and fearless approach are both contagious and inspiring. Managing the marketing relationships with one of the world’s largest wireless carriers, AT&T, Laurie successfully secured more than Samsung and Motorola’s fair share of promotions and merchandising placements which directly impacted market share and revenue growth. Fusing our company’s goals with customer insights and finding the “sweet spot” for both parties is a skill refined through countless negotiations, one which Laurie has mastered. It has been a joy to work together, and I hope we can do so again!", "Laurie is smart, articulate and quick to meet the needs of customers in high pressure situations. She always brings fresh ideas and a sense of excitement to projects she leads. It was very refreshing to have a leader that championed women in the work place and fostered relationships so that employees and colleagues succeed. I loved working for Laurie and would definitely work with her again.", and "Having known and worked with Laurie over several years and seen her work and the passion behind everything she does, I can highly recommend her for any number of roles. With a strong emphasis on marketing, she brings a strategic mindset with strong leadership skills. And of course her amazing ability to execute to achieve targeted goals. I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again."
