About
Hi! I'm Lara. I've been in product over a decade and am passionate about coaching and mentoring. I have spent my career launching 0-1 products and APIs in security, identity, authentication and privacy for startups and financial institutions. My secret weapons are stakeholder management and product strategy. Proven track record of inventing things and launching truly disruptive products with over $80M revenue in first year.
Experience
Joined as the first Security PM at Stripe
In 2021, I joined Stripe to help build out their product management discipline in Security. My main goal is to build user trust. I currently lead product for Privacy, Security Assurance and Internal Platforms.
Learned the foundations in Silicon Alley
For ten years, I lived and worked in New York City. After getting a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in New Orleans, I was lucky to land a contract software engineering role at Squarespace. From there, I learned product management by working at several start-ups.
Invented and launched a crypto-token for a Fortune 100 bank
For five years, I worked as a PM in Identity and Authentication at Capital One. My work includes re-imagining and architecting risk assessment engines for everything from logging in to money movement for all lines of business. On the side, I invented a crypto-token that then launched to 60M users in 3 countries. It took me a few years working side-of-desk but hey! :)
