Laura’s analytical and creative approach to identifying and tackling organizational opportunities stems from a unique background that includes work experience in innovation, operations, and policy, and degrees in business, studio art, and English. She earned her M.B.A. from Boston University in 2012 with a focus on building cross-cultural teams and creating shared value. Prior to completing her graduate degree, Laura also worked for the Massachusetts Senate for three years.

On this episode of The Manufacturing Alliance Podcast, we discussed how localizing manufacturing and suppliers can increase competitive advantage for innovators, how this can help reduce our carbon footprint, and so much more!
