Build the business behind the community.

The best membership businesses are not built on community alone.

They require a clear value proposition, a thoughtful member experience, strong acquisition and conversion systems, disciplined operations, and a model that can scale without losing what made it compelling in the first place.

I help founders build that infrastructure.

Over the last decade, I’ve worked inside some of the most recognized membership and community businesses—including WeWork, Chief, and Hampton—and advised additional membership-driven companies and early-stage teams across growth, membership, retention, community, operations, and member experience.

What I help build

Membership Strategy

Positioning, member value proposition, pricing, access, programming, segmentation, member journey, and the core experience that makes the membership worth joining—and renewing.

Growth + Conversion

Acquisition strategy, application and qualification flows, sales process, referral programs, outreach, conversion journeys, CRM architecture, lifecycle stages, and automation.

Member Experience + Retention

Onboarding, engagement rhythms, communications, programming, member touchpoints, retention strategy, feedback loops, and community rituals designed to increase participation and long-term value.

Operations + Infrastructure

Workflows, ownership, SOPs, CRM and tech-stack design, reporting, handoffs, internal processes, and operating infrastructure that allow the business to grow without becoming operationally fragile.

Launch + Fractional Leadership

For teams that need an operator, not another deck. I can build and launch a membership function, redesign an underperforming one, or own a critical workstream from strategy through execution.

About Laura

I’m a membership and community operator with 10+ years of experience building and scaling high-expectation member businesses across WeWork, Chief, and Hampton, with additional advisory and consulting work across membership-driven companies and early-stage teams.

My work sits at the intersection of growth, experience, retention, and operations. I understand both sides of the equation: what makes a membership feel valuable to the member, and what has to exist behind the scenes to make the business durable.

Build the operating system behind the membership.

Have a membership concept, an early member base, or a business that has gotten more complicated than it should be?
