A native New Yorker, Laurie is one of a handful of investor relations practitioners who enjoys, and is expert, in message-crafting, writing and editing quarterly conference call scripts, special shareholder letters, news releases, annual reports and more, in addition to providing savvy advisory expertise.
Having joined PondelWilkinson in 2006, Laurie’s prior experience includes eight years in the New York and Los Angeles offices of the Financial Relations Board. She also was investor relations director of Overture, a high-profile publicly traded technology company that was acquired by Yahoo! Laurie knows the capital markets inside out. Before starting her investor relations career, she served in a variety of management positions with Institutional Investor magazine.
When not speaking with CEOs, CFOs and IROs about IR matters, she can be found sitting on her favorite chair – on the weekends, of course – watching her beloved New York and Los Angeles sports teams or with her rescue pup, an eight-year-old shih-tzu/poodle mix, on her lap.
Laurie earned a bachelor’s degree with honors in sociology from the State University of New York at Binghamton. She is a practicing member of the National Investor Relations Institute.
