Name: Lauren Jean Reilly

Membership: Lead Member, Business Operations

Discipline: 20 years in Business Operations

Location: New York, NY

Joined: Lead Member Since 2024


Elevator Pitch: I have an extensive and diverse background working in advertising and technology from Fortune 100 clients to small start ups. I specialize in building operations from the ground up, business transformation and growth models. I have led global delivery teams to scale production efficiently.

SaaS tools of Choice: I'm pretty open to any tool set. Have used most of them!

Certifications: Scrum Master Certification, Secret clearance with FBI

Consulting Style: I take an active listening approach. I don't believe in a one size fits all business model, so I carefully analyze what is working and what isn't before making recommendations for change. Businesses need to evolve, and it is important to keep human factors in mind when going in a new direction.

Coaching Style: I'm a natural teacher. I provide support where I can. I will help people figure out problems and how they can apply learnings moving forward. I have a wealth of knowledge that I enjoy sharing.

Secret Sauce: I can see the future. Sounds like a joke, but I can usually figure out many steps ahead where things will end up.

Spirit Animal: A giraffe. Most people go for low hanging fruit. I'm specialized for picking leaves off the top of trees.

Words To Live By: Be efficient. Minimize effort, maximize reward.

  • Lauren has somehow packed a treasure trove of business and agency knowledge into her portfolio and is still as lovely as one can get! Not only is she able to see the patterns and identify the source of the issues, but she’s able to articulate them and work with the team in a way that feels so nurturing. She is an asset!
