Lauren G.
Fractional COO | AI-Powered Ops & Systems
I'm the operator executives bring in when strategy needs to become reality. I build the systems, processes, and governance that make scaling organizations actually work, and I use AI and no-code tools to do it faster and smarter than traditional consultants. My background spans a £6B global enterprise (Head of PMO, FirstGroup), the 2nd largest school district in the US (LAUSD, 80K employees), a 13-school charter network (Chief of Staff, ICEF), and my own SaaS company, which I founded, scaled, and sold in 2025. What I actually do for clients: design and build operational infrastructure, step in as a senior right-hand to the CEO or executive team, implement data and reporting systems that drive real decisions, and manage complex cross-functional programs from kickoff to completion. I work in Airtable, Zapier, Lovable, Claude AI, Shopify, and the full no-code/AI stack — which means I don't just advise, I build. If you need someone who can think at the executive level and roll up their sleeves to execute, that's my sweet spot.
