Spearheads Industry-Changing Research

Knowing all the players helps to collect the necessary information and ask the right questions to create the research needed to help move the industry forward.

For over 35 years, my career has centered on the intersection of media, technology, and advertising. I have held many roles, ranging from founding and leading digital ad industry startups to senior executive positions at WPP. The central theme of my work is finding new ways of making technologies work for marketers. My fascination with creating value for marketers through technology led me to pioneer innovation in early digital ad networks, the uses of search engine marketing, new methods of behavioral targeting, and big data.

At BIGtoken, we use consented survey data, derived from our consumer app, to drive superior results for digital advertisers, by targeting the right people with the right message. BIGtoken provides the solutions advertisers need in the emerging era of privacy.

Similarly, at BritePool, I worked to define how the digital advertising industry can create significantly more value for marketers, with new privacy-focused technologies, by developing the replacement for third-party cookies and mobile identifiers in the programmatic ecosystem. This reinvention also creates value for the other participants in the programmatic ad ecosystem, including web publishers, apps, DSPs, and SSPs.

Earlier in my career, I co-founded 24/7 Media (now Xaxis) and led the company from a startup to a digital marketing and ad technology leader. WPP ultimately purchased 24/7 Real Media for $649 million. With this purchase, I joined WPP, where I successfully led the transformation of Xaxis offerings as the digital industry ad industry evolve and served as the global president of WPP Digital.

My career has also encompassed a meaningful role in the ad industry's evolution, which is important to me. I helped to steer the digital ad industry's development as a Board member of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) for almost 20 years, as Chairman from 2009 to 2011, and as the first Chairman of the IAB Tech Lab. As a Board member and Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Advertising Education Foundation (AEF), I help ensure the development of the next generation of advertising talent.

Prior to joining Shamrock in 2012, Laura worked in the Corporate Strategy group at The Walt Disney Company. She also previously worked at The Carlyle Group and Credit Suisse.

I have been advising companies in the media and technology industries for over 30 years. As a strategic advisor at investment banks large and small, I have had the privilege to be involved in some of the most significant transactions in the sector. In the 1990s my business focused on large scale M&A in the traditional media sectors and during that decade, I completed over 100 transactions totaling more than $300 billion in value for clients like AOL, AT&T, Comcast, CBS, Cox, Clear Channel and Bell Canada. That experience taught me a lot, in particular about the importance of deep industry knowledge in a dynamic space.

Now I focus on the digital space - the intersection of media and technology. I advise companies ranging from VC-funded growth companies to established industry leaders managing the inevitable disruption brought about by digital. I founded LUMA Partners to take a more strategic approach to corporate development. We have deep industry knowledge and senior level relationships with many of the strategic companies.

You can find me speaking at many leading industry conferences on subjects related to digital media. My style is to "tell it like it is" and I find the use of humor an effective tool for audience attention and retention. In fact, I’ve produced a series of industry-related comedy videos (see link above). I also run a conference uniquely geared to CEOs in digital media: www.thedigtalmediasummit.com.

I started my career at Salomon Brothers and advanced to Managing Director and Global Head of Media M&A at Citigroup and later Credit Suisse. I also have experience at an operating company having served as CFO of Raindance Communications, which went public in July 2000.
