I’m Laure, and after 15 years in the "big tech" and startup trenches, navigating roles at OfferUp, Nordstrom, and Expedia, I’m dedicating my next chapter to helping women tech founders find their peace of mind.
Throughout my journey and my leadership roles within the Women in Tech community, I’ve witnessed two core challenges that frequently disempower women:
- The industry and funding systems remain heavily male-dominated.
- Brilliant ideas often stall not for lack of vision, but for lack of a roadmap.
I want to do my part to solve these challenges.
I believe the tech world belongs to those who solve real, human problems.
I help women move past the paralysis of a “big idea” and into a clear, actionable plan you can actually execute. Together, we focus on what truly matters: validating ideas quickly in the real world, doing the right things in the right order, and avoiding months of stress and thousands wasted on building the wrong thing.
Beyond the roadmaps and the ROI, I’m building a sisterhood. This is a safe, empathetic space where we don't just build apps; we empower the women behind them to lead with authority and create businesses the market rewards.
In my free time (when I am not enjoying special moments with my two children) I love learning about new tech innovations and scientific breakthroughs. I love to travel the world with my children and discover new cultures, traditions and food! I also have a passion for real estate, remodeling, and interior design. But what I value most is truly connecting with family and friends, staying present, and enjoying the real world!
