Lauren Valencia

I’ve spent the last decade bringing People & Talent strategy full circle for early to late stage startups. RecOps, people partnering, standing up & leading teams, or recruiting niche & exec roles, I ask the questions often overlooked to drive fresh perspectives and breakthrough moments. I’m committed to scaling talent dense and high-performing teams and ultimately enabling those around me. Leveraging my experience in agency, in-house recruiting & people operations, I strike a healthy balance between Talent advocacy with business needs. I’ve earned recognition for always creating win-win solutions, leading to high-impact outcomes.

Outside of work, I'm pretty handy with DIY and managed the entire remodel of my home! You'll also find me traveling with my husband, jumping into the Pilates studio, or out on adventures with my giant pup.
