Lauri is a dedicated and extremely efficient Program Manager who keeps her eye both on the financial bottom line as well as employee well-being and growth. She provides guidance and support to allow her employees to grow and excel in their positions. Over the past 3 years, I had the pleasure of working with Lauri on a very tough and highly dynamic project. With her leadership, customer expectation management, and her ability to always stay on top of project activities, we were able to successfully deliver quality service to our customer for a testing contract. No matter how tough the going got, she was able to calmly and collectively manage the situation, inspiring all of us to do better. She would be a valuable asset anywhere she goes.
