About Laura Skladzinski

I thrive in dynamic environments where I align cross-functional teams, turn complex challenges into actionable strategies, and drive transformational change. With 15+ years of experience spanning strategy, execution, and change management, I bridge gaps between business and technology to deliver results. I take a collaborative approach to problem solving, working to simplify complexity, empower data-driven decision-making, align diverse stakeholder groups, and build action-oriented roadmaps that drive progress.As Director of Digital Transformation for Revenue Operations at DaVita, I connect strategy, innovation, and execution to accelerate modernization across the enterprise. My focus areas include new technology and AI exploration, change management, and OKR leadership, bridging teams and ideas to turn transformation strategies into scalable, sustainable results.Previously at PwC Advisory, I led large-scale system modernizations for Fortune 500 clients to optimize operations, enhance customer experience, and drive growth. My roles spanned strategy, product management, change management, and program execution — whether launching next-gen platforms, redefining engagement models, or spearheading AI initiatives. As Chief of Staff for PwC Digital, I drove a full organizational redesign and created a global deployment function that captured multimillion-dollar cost savings. As Digital Product Innovation & GTM Lead for PwC Connected Solutions, I helped launch products like Check-In (a COVID response SaaS tool) and led go-to-market sales strategy for emerging tech solutions like PwC’s Indoor Geolocation Platform (a LPWAN/BLE-powered solution).I love coaching others to achieve self-sufficiency and am passionate about goal setting, productivity, and motivational psychology. In 2022, I delivered a sold-out talk at the Grace Hopper Celebration for Women in Tech on imposter syndrome, and frequently speak on goal setting, organizational behavior, and employee engagement.Beyond my professional work, I’m committed to leadership, mentorship, and impact, currently serving as Board President for Coal Creek Meals on Wheels. I previously served as elected Trustee for the Town of Superior, overseeing governance for residents. In my free time, I\'m an avid runner, former marathon world record holder, and certified ski instructor - always energized by ambitious goals, whether in business, community service, or the great outdoors.
