CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER

Laura is a people focused leader who is passionate about building motivated and high performing teams.

Laura's extensive experience includes leading IT strategy and teams in various sectors including Telecommunications, Travel, and Media and she has led international outsourced IT operations for HP and Oracle. Her mix of digital strategy and transformation skills play a vital role in further developing Elior's systems and innovative technologies that continue adding value to our customers and clients.

Laura also has a passion for championing diversity in Technology. She is a member of the WLDA (women leaders in Data and AI) and finds this forum a really great way to work with like-minded individuals who are tackling the gender bias in AI. The forum encourages and supports women leaders in technology, and helps identify and nurture future female leaders. Laura is also a member of the Hot Topics TechGirl mentorship programme - which helps to support young women who want to get into Tech careers. 

Laura’s twin daughters were born in Cape Town, South Africa, where she and her husband worked for several years, so she enjoys going back to Africa for holidays when she can. She also loves taking her dogs for long walks.
