I have had the opportunity of working with Laura. It became clear to me immediately that Laura strives to understand the details in a complex technology evaluation that involves multiple stakeholders. Her attention to detail is second to none and she is constantly learning, supporting, and encouraging her team to deliver positive results. Her tenacity and graciousness are infectious and I can't recommend working with her enough. She is an asset to any digital marketing/analytics organization.
