As Vice President and General Manager of The Balance, Lauren has worked to make finance topics accessible to everyone, and brought female representation and leadership into a notoriously male-dominated sector. She oversees a predominantly female team of writers and editors covering topics from banking and credit, to the economy and investing. In 2019, Lauren was named a “Corporate Champion” in Folio’s Top Women in Media Awards. Lauren has been a long-time member of The Wing, an organization devoted to providing working and community spaces for women, and regularly contributes to Dotdash’s monthly community Diversity and Inclusion meetings.
