“Everyone wants to work with Lauren! I had the pleasure of partnering with Lauren during her time as Sr. Technical Account Manager for Adswizz. Much more than a typical adtech Account Manager, Lauren was an excellent educator, trainer, and do-it-all trouble-shooter for all things podcast/audio programmatic for our AdvertiseCast sales team. No matter what challenge or opportunity we threw at her, Lauren 100% always came through with either an immediate solution or the killer idea for finding a work-around. All the more impressive is how well poised Lauren remained in even the most time sensitive, stressful situations. It's a real loss to our business no longer having Lauren as an asset and a partner. People who are fortunate to work with her in the future will be quite lucky to have her as a business associate.”
