Bio

I reported to Laura in my role as Dir. Digital Sales. She came in to lead our department during a very chaotic time for both EMI and digital. She quickly re-worked the team, our priorities, and helped improve our relationships with partners in a short time - leaving us much more confident to pursue our objectives. Once back on track, she empowered us to dive into more interesting work around partner strategy and content opportunities, resulting in massive increases in revenue, particularly within video products. She was a great role model for the team, excellent for our morale, and I would be happy to work with/for her again.

Laura is a remarkable leader in the industry. When she came over to EMI Music from Universal Music Group, she encouraged me to transition from Digital Business Development over to the Digital Sales Team. I would not have had many of the opportunities and experiences that I had in my career if it wasn’t for her adding me to her team. Laura is not only a great leader, but she is an exceptional mentor. Laura helped to guide me in the time that we worked together and from that guidance I became more confident in business strategy, the digital landscape, and account management. She wanted me to win. Laura genuinely cares about everyone that she works with, which is a rare trait to have, especially in the entertainment industry. Laura is one of the great ones: a hybrid of a strong business leader and true mentor. She is intellectually curious, positive, and embraces challenging scenarios always through the lens of opportunity. She is an asset to any organization that she works with.
