HER STORY

Two decades inside the hardest problems.

Lauriel spent two decades inside some of the world's most complex organizations. At Abbott Laboratories she led enterprise programs across seven global divisions, earning both a Presidential and CIO Award for implementations that generated measurable value at Fortune 103 scale. At GE Healthcare she reduced operational costs by $70 million annually and was awarded a U.S. Patent for a proprietary commercial pricing tool. At Xellia Pharmaceuticals she built an entire commercial technology infrastructure from zero across 80 countries.

Her expertise spans CRM, CLM, ERP, and Commercial Operations platforms across pharmaceutical, medical device, healthcare, and industrial sectors. She has led Tier 1 vendor ecosystems including PwC, Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, Cognizant, and Capgemini. She holds certifications as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Certified Scrum Master, and Change Management Practitioner.

WiT exists because most consultants advise and leave. Lauriel partners, builds, and stays until the work is done. She works directly with a select number of clients at a time, which means you get her full attention, her full expertise, and results you can measure.
