Laura’s Career Development Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Experience level: Director

10+ people coached for Career Development

Welcome to my profile! I’m a strategic program manager and culture builder who’s all about helping people and teams do their best work. With experience in media, technology, and finance, I’ve led big projects, created career growth programs, and built workplaces where people feel valued and engaged. At The New York Times, I worked on major initiatives like the digital subscription launch and article recommendations—bringing people together, solving complex problems, and delivering real results. During my time at The New York Times, I made the shift from project management to talent management in HR. I found myself drawn to employee engagement and career development, which led me to coaching and people development. Now, as a Columbia-certified coach, I use behavioral research, proven methodologies, and deep listening to help individuals and organizations grow in meaningful ways. I’ve helped clients move forward in their careers, address obstacles to pursue personal and creative projects, and navigate career transitions with confidence. I tailor my approach to each person’s needs, ensuring you get the right support and strategies to reach your goals. If you’re looking to take the next step in your career or personal growth, I’d love to see how I can support your journey.
