Lauren has recently returned to NZ after 20 years in the world’s largest technology markets, commercialising technology across multiple industries where the patterns of emerging technology and business models are converging.
Lauren has deep experience as an executive, independent director and advisor in established organisations looking to harness physical industrial and human assets with emerging technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Mobility.
Prior to returning to NZ, Lauren was a partner in Momenta Partners, as an Investor (with a portfolio of 16 early stage technology), and Advisor across North America and Europe. She was behind the largest IoT acquisition of 2016 in the energy sector, and part of the Cisco innovation Labs of 2016 creating multi party innovation in health – ‘improving the lives of oncology patients’, resulting in the rapid creation of industry funded start-ups. Prior to this, as Head of Innovation for global supply chain company Brambles, Lauren stimulated innovation across the sector with the world’s first connected pallet in 2011, whilst driving a culture of innovation across 50 countries, and 15k people.
With extensive experience across multiple sectors, from start-ups to large multinationals, Lauren brings a unique perspective on how technology and data is enabling industry boundaries to shift, and therefore offering not only accelerated learnings but new commercial opportunities for the health industry.
Now back in NZ, Lauren is the CIO of Ports of Auckland, focused on realising the untapped potential and possibility across NZ’s supply chain, adopting some of the world’s best and cutting-edge practices and business models.
