Laura is now manager in the Foresight practice at Kalypso where she identifies strategic opportunities by using trends, forecasts and scenarios. Her role is to turn the STEEP categories (societal, technological, environmental, economic and political) into quantifiable data for clients in order to identify priorities, drive investment and discover innovation opportunities.
Previously, Laura worked in the People Advisory Services group at Ernst & Young LLP (EY). Here she was an 
actuarial consultant and later focused her efforts on various human capital consulting projects. She has also been an adjunct professor in our Foresight Program teaching statistical forecasting during summers.
When we asked her whether she found what she learned in the Foresight Program applicable to her current context, she replied:
“A trained futurist is a highly-attractive differentiator in the consulting world…and I learned the practice from the best. So I feel 100% equipped for this position because of the foresight program.”
Congratulations!
