Fractional CMO
Lara is an award winning, results-driven Business Growth expert with over 30 years experience as a global keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, business mentor and fractional CMO. In essence, she teaches businesses how to disrupt their industry and become the ONLY choice for their customers instead of ‘one of many’.
She’s advised multinationals like Johnson & Johnson, Kraft, Shell and Pfizer as well as small businesses around the world. Her advice has been published in International media outlets like CNBC, CBS and The Chicago Tribune. A proud recipient of Connect Magazine’s Top 40 under 40 and Rejuvenate Magazine’s Top 40 under 40, Lara has also been bestowed the title of Industry Innovator by BizBash magazine, received the coveted Spirit of the Industry Award by the CEIA and is proud to have been honoured with Dedication & Leadership Awards by ILEA.
She graduated from Ivy Business School’s Executive Program, but it’s the title of Mom that brings Lara the most pride. When she’s not building lego with her son, she’s been known to board down active volcanoes, spelunk 16 stories underground, camp in -10 degree temps beside a glacier, bungee jump over a rainforest, swim with sharks and jump from a plane at 15,000 feet.
