TALK TOPICS
Every talk comes out of work Lori has actually done, and each one sends the audience home with something they can use the next morning.
01
Stop building systems you're not ready for
How to know when to tune out the noise from advisors, boards, and LinkedIn thought leaders to focus on what your business actually needs right now.
A framework for knowing when to level up and when to ignore the chatter.
02
The founder identity crisis nobody talks about
From inventor to operator to allocator to therapist.
How a founder's role transforms from Seed to Series B, and why most don't survive the transitions they never saw coming.
03
Scaling ops without losing your soul
Building operational infrastructure for mission-driven companies without importing Silicon Valley playbooks that don't fit.
Systems sized for the stage the company is actually in, for founders who want both a good outcome and their mission to survive it.
Lori spends her working weeks inside early stage companies as an executive advisor and fractional executive. The material on stage is what she saw last month. She names the parts most people leave out, and she does it without making the room feel lectured at.
Conference organizers and event planners hire her for her fresh perspective on tech, her rare ability to spot the decision makers in the room, engage them in their own language, and move deals and decisions forward.
