02 / MEET LAUREN

Experienced support.
A personal approach.

I’m Lauren Raabe. My background brings together executive assistance, finance operations, and customer-facing project delivery.

I’ve supported five senior finance leaders, coordinated competing priorities, and managed complex SaaS implementations. Across those roles, the common thread has been helping people stay informed, prepared, and able to move forward.

I bring that experience to an ongoing support relationship: learning how you work, understanding what matters, and helping you stay ahead of the details.

Selected examples from my corporate roles.

EXECUTIVE COORDINATION

Five calendars.
One clear set of priorities.

With multiple senior leaders competing for limited time, I coordinated complex calendars, protected focus time, prepared meeting materials, and tracked follow-up ownership.

What I bring: context-aware scheduling and preparation that connects the meeting to what happens next.

PROJECT FOLLOW-THROUGH

Changing plans.
