Fellow CCO, Eric Weisberg, said: “Laura immediately stood out from the many people I met because she embodied everything I hoped for, creatively and culturally, in the next chapter of ‘Chelsea’s’ history. Her pedigree of integrated, modern and award-winning work speaks for itself, but equally impressive is her inclusive leadership style that elevates the people around her.”
