Founder-in-Chief

Lauren is a powerhouse communicator and business strategist who’s redefining what it means to lead with purpose. Her career spans global firms like AT&T and now DIRECTV, where she leads organizational effectiveness and operations—driving multimillion-dollar initiatives and building high-performing teams from the inside out.

But Lauren’s vision extends far beyond corporate success. She’s also a dream builder.

Fueled by her passion for helping underrepresented women thrive, Lauren founded The BRICC Foundry—a nonprofit and creative agency that provides mentorship, community, and experiential learning to help women turn their boldest dreams into real progress. Through BRICC, she’s created a dynamic ecosystem where women gain access to resources, leadership development, and the power of collective support.
