Bio
Bev Williams
Lauri understands the business processes surrounding the systems she utilizes. She was instrumental in mentoring me as a newcomer to Walt Disney Imagineering so I could be a more powerful support to the financial group. She looked for ways to partner and interface with IT to help streamline and improve the applications she used to improve processes as well as reporting to upper management. I enjoyed working with her and learning from her wealth of knowledge.
Arlene Wood
