Laura is an exceptional leader and manager. She helped our team navigate through multiple hiring freezes, competing priorities and lead with empathy and compassion. There have been countless times when I needed guidance on how to proceed with the volume of work that was in flight and the lack of resources available. She helped me prioritize the most important projects and allowed me the space to "let things drop" if needed. Laura was always aware of everything her team was doing. And several times, recognizing how much work was happening across our team she ensured that we would be set up for success by securing additional headcount. I was so fortunate to have had Laura as my manager for almost 3 years and it's been transformative for me. I will forever be grateful for the kindness and trust she's shown me throughout our time together. You have left me and everyone you've met forever changed for the better. I will miss your spirit, selflessness, fierce loyalty, and incredible work ethic. You lead by example and bring everyone up with you. Thank you always, Laura, for being such an amazing role model and champion for our team and DEI recruiting. I miss you everyday.

I had the pleasure of reporting to Laura for the past 2 years. Hands down, Laura is one of the best managers I’ve ever had. As a manager, Laura is terrific at removing obstacles, helping you think through a problem, and coaching you to greatness. Laura wants you to succeed and genuinely cares about the well-being of others. For our team specifically, Laura built an inclusive team environment and made everyone on the team feel heard and valued. She brought a warmth to our team or project meetings, she provided a space for everyone to have a voice, and she always brought everyone together to find the best solutions. Laura created an environment of trust and openness and allowed me and others on the team to get our work done in an efficient and timely manner. She always encouraged questions without making us feel like we were anything less because we asked for help. Laura always made me feel supported, whether it was with resources she has gathered or with the compassion of someone who acts as a true ally. One of the things that I value most about Laura is that every time I worked with her on a project or went to her for help, she was always willing to go the extra mile for me or the project team. For example, during our time working together, Laura and I worked on several high priority projects. These initiatives were complex and we sometimes faced roadblocks that could have resulted in missed deadlines. Laura always took the time to bounce around new ideas with me, discuss innovative strategies and share her perspective, which ultimately helped me and the project teams mitigate risks and get back on track. Laura always looked for the “win-win,” and as a project manager and one of her direct reports, I truly appreciated this. Laura is the best of the best! Any company, team, or direct report would be lucky to have her.

I partnered with Laura for 3.5 years during a period of hyper growth in a company that was driving a stretch target for diversity. Laura led a team that was instrumental in delivering on that target, while I gave Compliance direction on proposed hiring plans and strategies. Laura was a consummate professional who always balanced business priorities with a healthy regard for risk and compliance. Compliance-by-design was always at the heart of Laura's leadership and she built that culture in her team, leading by example. She was frequently ahead of the game, flagging & solving compliance risks before they even got to me for review. Laura was a true partner to the HR Compliance function. I highly recommend her for her skills, knowledge and extremely personable way of interacting with her partners!

Laura is a fantastic coach! She has helped me tremendously on my interview journey, offering valuable insights and encouraging reflection. Laura has also provided me with helpful tips and resources to support my career path. From the moment you speak with her, you can truly see how passionate she is about helping others achieve their goals. I highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking guidance and support in their professional development.

I could not recommend Laura enough. She is the best executive and career coach and trusted advisor you could have. She also offers the invaluable opportunity to be coached in Spanish. With Laura's coaching, I enhanced my leadership skills and moved from Finance to a senior commercial leadership role that better aligned with my passions and interests. One of her greatest strengths is the ability to listen and understand her clients goals and challenges. She provides actionable insights and creates a supportive environment that encourages growth. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking to grow their career.

I had the pleasure of being guided by Fiona during my master’s program at Berkeley, and her impact on my professional journey has been invaluable. She is truly an expert in her industry, with a deep understanding of what it takes for quants to succeed in a competitive job market. Her coaching helped me sharpen my resume, master interviews, and position myself strategically for the roles I wanted. What stood out most was the emotional support she offered throughout—not just during the program, but even after graduation. Her continued availability and dedication show just how committed she is to her clients’ long-term success. I can't recommend her highly enough to any aspiring quant.

I cannot say enough good things about the work that Ashley does. I recently hired her to create a CV for me and had a fantastic experience from beginning to end. She took her time on the initial call to really understand what my needs are. She then beat the deadline to get the completed document back to me and took an hour to go through edits with me. The quality of her work is outstanding and I’m thrilled with the finished product. She really went above and beyond and I’d definitely work with her again in the future.

You’ve also helped me understand how to use my skills to attract the types of clients I want! You make me feel empowered and I feel like your words have helped me recognize new ways I can support people in my work.

I was today years old when I learned about ATS!!!! This is all incredibly helpful and I am blown away by what I don’t know. I went to my career center as an undergrad but it makes me wonder, where does anyone not in school get this kind of knowledge?!!

Very professional. Helped me articulate on paper things I could not express in a proper fashion. Provided me with the ideal resume for the job type I am searching for
