I help firms amplify their message, support their founders, and build strong systems that make every relationship more valuable.

Not sure where to start?

I also work with venture firms and emerging managers to assess where platform efforts can have the most impact. Whether you're at the very beginning, refining an early strategy, or deciding where to focus limited resources, I’ll help you identify what’s worth investing in… and what’s not.

About Me:

I’ve produced flagship conferences and memorable experiences for some of the most recognized names in tech, media, and healthcare. I’ve coordinated deliverables with astronauts aboard the International Space Station. At the height of the pandemic, I produced a 35-day virtual summit featuring Hillary Clinton, Bob Woodward, and Gloria Steinem.

For years, I built a career as an executive producer and event strategist, but what I was really mastering that whole time was:

Helping leaders clarify and amplify their message to the audiences that matter most
Increasing company visibility through strategically designed events and thoughtful programming
Building global networks of speakers and guests representing world-class brands, emerging startups, and mission-driven institutions
Creating spaces on stage and behind the scenes where business development happens organically
Aligning C-level stakeholders, cross-functional teams, and external partners in high-stakes environments
Leading calmly through rapid pivots and unknowns

After 15+ years producing transformational gatherings including conferences, showcases, summits, and brand activations, I stepped into fractional platform leadership. The shift was natural. Now, I work with venture firms and emerging managers to drive visibility, sharpen positioning, and deepen founder support. I also have a trusted network of specialists across media, content, comms, brand, sales, and go-to-market that I can tap as needed for projects that require top-tier, niche expertise. I’ve been told I bring clarity to ambiguity and urgency to execution, whether I’m sourcing an editorial partner or securing an impossible-to-book speaker.

I believe that, at its best, platform work is about building relationships that lead to real momentum… and that sometimes, the right cold email still goes a long way (ask me how I know).

Laurea is an incredible resource for any company that needs to understand events, community, adapting between IRL and virtual go-to-market strategies, financial models, and startups going from product market fit to scale. She's also incredibly valuable in terms of bringing in talent to help scale those things. We wouldn't be in the same place without her!
