Encore: Digital Transformation Monday, June 6, 2016

Laura Ellis is an innovator and a visionary whose career has been defined by three vocations: Educator, Business Psychologist and Entrepreneur. Dissatisfied with any boundaries that restrict potential, Laura found purpose in employing her talent to expand the choices afforded to people. As an educator, Laura motivated and guided at-risk youth in Communist Romania to thrive outside the limits imposed by an oppressive regime. Drawn by the intricacy and energy she discovered inside business, she later built a career in business psychology to facilitate organizational transformations and spur the growth of executive talent, the true architect of business success. Being farsighted and enterprising sets Laura apart and it often places her at odds with the mainstream thinking. After fifteen successful years in influential corporate and consulting roles, she saw that the tools for business growth became out of step with the needs of the business. In 2013 Laura founded Trusted Advisory Board, the organization she knows will disrupt and reshape management consulting to meet today’s business needs for rapid transformation and differentiation. This amount of progress only comes from the on-going exposure to high density and diversity of information. TAB creates those conditions and gives senior executives access to a curated network of knowledge to make fast and accurate business decisions. It also fulfills Laura’s mission to evolve how businesses are run, one business at a time.
