Bio
Laura Howell
Lauren and I began working together during a transition period for her teams and her company, it was not the best or easiest way to "get started" in a new working relationship, because there were so many distractions with the introduction of new processes and constant change. Lauren's eagerness to engage, learn and influence was immediately impressive, and it contributed to a very successful working relationship between us! Lauren is such a smart and talented person, she has that drive to succeed and excel that is so personal, it's clear and apparent that she is destined to succeed. So clear and apparent, her direct reports, peers, customers and partners relied on her for more than what's defined as her role! In our one year working together, I've seen Lauren take risks and exercise muscles in leadership that can/may be very uncomfortable for some, but she moved with stride and executed with fantastic results. Her humility and humbleness created the space to allow her peers and direct reports to make mistakes and learn as well. I would highly recommend Lauren for a position that may requires some learning, growing or stretching as she's absolutely capable of doing more in all that she does.

I reported directly to Lauren for my two years at CanadaStays/Vrbo. She is an energetic friendly manager who knows how to empower her team to succeed. She was approachable whenever I had a problem and was transparent with the demanding transition from CanadaStays to Vrbo. I felt she always put her team's best interests first. I am sad I will no longer be working with her, and know she will be a good assist to any team she is a part of!
