Lauren is a Director of Accounts at Gorilla 76, where she leads a cross-functional team focused on translating business goals into measurable marketing results for industrial clients. She brings a sharp instinct for finding where new ideas can take root in traditional industries — and the follow-through to make them stick. Colleagues and clients alike consistently point to her as someone who keeps complex initiatives organized, moving and on target.

Before joining Gorilla, Lauren built her marketing chops at the leading edge of the drone industry. She led in-house marketing at an early-stage drone delivery startup, then moved to DroneUp — one of the largest drone delivery operators in the U.S. — where she managed a high-profile go-to-market partnership with Walmart and oversaw consumer drone delivery strategy. She is also a licensed commercial drone pilot.

Lauren holds a bachelor's degree in media and journalism from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, with her husband, daughter and a small army of pets. When she's not at work, you'll find her at the beach, in a garden or deep into a retro video game.
