About Laury Anne Behrens

I’m a bilingual (EN/ES) executive with 20+ years of experience bridging strategy and execution across IT, product, and operations—both in the U.S. and Europe. I’ve held senior roles as COO, CTO, CIO, and Head of Product, delivering results in PE/VC-backed ventures, scaleups, and global enterprises. Boards, investors, and delivery teams trust me to translate strategy into results—modernizing legacy systems, accelerating product delivery, and enabling scalable operations. I’m industry-fluid, with a strong track record across renewable energy, consulting, education, healthcare, hospitality, and financial services. My leadership playbook, which I share at is grounded in empowering teams, aligning technology with business value, and building organizations that continue to improve long after the initial lift. Whether leading a post-acquisition integration, modernizing a SaaS platform, or scaling a data-driven operation, I help businesses build the clarity and momentum needed to deliver results. I\'m currently exploring opportunities that are Denver-based (or Denver-anchored) and travel-ready, including: • Small & midsized firms: COO / CIO / CTO / VP of IT / Head of Digital Transformation • Global enterprises: VP or Senior Director of Product / IT • PE/VC portfolio companies: Operating Partner / Interim Exec / Tech & Ops Advisor If the mission is to make strategy executable—at speed and at scale—let’s connect. I’m always up for a virtual coffee with smart, curious minds.
