Hello, I’m Lauren

I am a design leader with 8 years of experience at Coca-Cola.

As Director of Product for Europe, I am leading the strategic design and implementation for scalable hyper-personalised marketing via digital activation.

In my previous roles at Coke I have designed, launched and managed several products including a global knowledge management & business intelligence solution called SIMON.

I lead cross-functional teams to design seamless digital experiences. I combine visionary storytelling with a strategic mindset to influence and drive change. With a growth mindset and a passion for creating impactful, customer-centric experiences, I excel in identifying process gaps and uncovering areas of opportunity to drive impactful outcomes.

I am advancing my career in product design, building on my strong foundation in product management, research, UX design and service design.
