About Laura Martin

Consumer & People Advocate. Champion of Innovation. Brand Builder. Digital pioneer. Creative problem-solver. Not one to be put in a box, I am a whole-brained, creative brand marketer who can drive upstream, big picture strategy, while also obsessing the details of execution. But most of all, I like to solve problems. I have a passion for making people’s lives better, and when I believe that is what I’m doing, I’m pretty determined in my pursuit of the solution. After leaving a successful 13-year career leading Global Digital Brand Marketing at Nike to dedicate myself to my family and pursue some entrepreneurial ambitions on the side, I’m now partnering with bold, visionary people and companies who are looking to reimagine the space they’re in. Currently, I am excited to do that with a legendary CMO who has a vision for a new model of education and mentorship for ambitious people, and have enjoyed challenges such as reimagining and elevating the “mother’s room” experience for breastfeeding working mothers, among other projects. I have always seen my role as a consumer & people advocate, who can use my innovative mindset, creative problem solving and relentless pursuit of excellence to shape experiences that matter. I thrive when I’m challenging the status quo and transforming systems and experiences with people at the heart of it. I believe in always evolving and improving. I am constantly curious and get overly excited about brainstorming. I strongly value honesty, integrity, humility and genuinely nice people. I\'d love to connect with you here!
