“have it all”?

I’M LAUREN
As a kid, I always hated injustice and it was at that young age, I decided to become a lawyer. I achieved my dream and now have more than 15 years of experience as general counsel for a number of organizations. In addition, I have served as president of many companies including, Riverdeep, Metatomix, and Ecopy. Recently, I was named vice president, data protection officer, and general counsel at Workhuman. Since my graduation from law school, I have sculpted a path for life which included balancing my work demands, and raising my three children as a single mother.


Through it all the principle of gratitude kept me going.
Despite the challenges, the pain, and sometimes the grief, I was driven to live each day acknowledging the good things in life, and not allowing negativity to ruin my daily life. I realized gratitude was essential for my success and that it can be a gift for others who are trying to live a full life.

Making the term
“having-it-all”

The lawyer
Currently, I am the Chief Legal Officer/Data Protection Officer at Workhuman, a business whose mission is to help companies create corporate cultures driven by gratitude. I manage all Workhuman’s legal needs, participate as a member of its executive team, and support Innovation Women, with the goal to achieve true gender equality at professional events. Before joining Workhuman in 2009, I ran my own practice helping small businesses and start-ups as well as establishing and maintaining a worldwide intellectual property portfolio (including seven patents). I’ve also helped an Irish company achieve 18 acquisitions over two years along with publicly trading a $120M global developer provider of educational software for K-12 grade levels.
As I look into the next stage of my life, I am aware it’s not easy trying to have it all – even though it is possible. To have a successful career, be a great mother, and have a strong family life requires a daily commitment full of joy, happiness, and knowing how to successfully address stress, sadness, and anxiety.
