Hey👋 I’m Lara

I run a community for business owners called Found & Flourish and have been featured in the likes of Forbes and Marie Clarie for my work in this area.

I work with founders and businesses who want to build their own engaged communities in order to amplify the purpose led work they’re doing. I’m super passionate about community (can you tell?) and speak on the topics of Entrepreneurship, community and motherhood.

My motto? Keep things simple and create solution based strategies, you can’t go wrong. Because business shouldn’t feel lonely, or complicated!

Featured in…

I’m a consultant, community expert and entrepreneur – combining a background in sales and strategy with my passion for community and entrepreneurship.

I work with businesses and brands who want to connect with their audience in an authentic way (without burning out in the process). From community strategy and planning to brand activation and implementation, I work closely with my clients to ditch the assumptions and take action with clarity and confidence.

I also host workshops, programmes and training sessions for business owners, start-ups and brands looking to harness the power of community and to forge deeper connections with their audiences, employees and colleagues.

I run a business network for women and non-binary people called Found & Flourish which is on a mission to cut through the noise and encourage action through tried and tested productivity frameworks.

I regularly speak on panels, podcasts and in the media; challenging the status quo, championing women and talking about how we can harness the power of community to close the opportunity gap for future female leaders and entrepreneurs.
