Brooks Gabel

I have worked with, for and alongside Lauren for nine years. She is a leader that brings vitality, creativity and strategy into any space she enters. Lauren employs a strengths-based leadership approach to maximize the engagement, productivity and sustained results for those around her. She’s best in the world at distilling complex challenges into digestible opportunities for innovation. And, the best part is she never takes herself too seriously — which makes the work that much more fun along the way.

Lauren is a strategic, compassionate leader and coach. She drives for results while always bringing fun and levity to her work and relationships. Her ability to build bridges and find common ground is an incredible asset and serves as a catalyst for successful cross-functional partnerships. I value Lauren's contribution to all of our shared projects.
