Laura Marriott

Hi, I’m Laura. I’m a Retained Executive Search Professional living in Boulder, Colorado.

Laura focuses on helping companies recruit the executives they need to grow and reach their next level of success. Too often companies hire mediocre leaders which have them unable to execute their vision, strategy or attack a new market. Laura helps companies focus on finding the “GameChanging” leaders who can help not only execute their goals, but exceed them. By leveraging her real world business experience coupled with the Top Gun Ventures recruiting model, she is able to help companies identify, evaluate and recruit the proper executives into the right roles.

She has over 20 years of experience in leadership, marketing, product and business development in the tech sector.

While an industry leader, Laura co-founded Women in Wireless within the Mobile Marketing Association in 2006.
