About our guest investor: Laurie Champagne is a renowned investor, digital marketing & technology expert with a track record of driving breakthrough growth for some of the world's most recognizable brands. She has been the force behind the IT & web design for brands such as TOMS Shoes, SKECHERS USA, & Proflowers.com, where she oversaw a team of 50 developers in a landmark project integrating Proflowers' infrastructure with Amazon's platform-transforming Amazon from a bookseller into an e-commerce giant. If Amazon could sell perishable flowers...they could sell anything.
Laurie's expertise spans big data, actionable insights, search, social media, & omnichannel marketing. Her passion for building high-velocity, engaging digital ecosystems has led to measurable results for brands like BeautyCounter & Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia-amassing millions of followers & driving sustainable conversion-focused growth. In addition to her hands-on work, Laurie holds board positions in the fashion industry with Fashion Tech Works (a division of the New Mart Building), AutoParts.com (the nation's largest automotive marketplace), & Live to Give Consulting.
Laurie is an angel investor & represents multiple family offices that invest in CPG, Fashion, Footwear & Software. Laurie is part of VCPE group & she is the co-host of official investor conferences for LA Tech Week sponsored by Andreesen Horowitz (a16z).
Laurie is also a trusted consultant to elite law firms such as DLA Piper, Liner Freedman Taitelman + Cooley LLP, & Geragos & Geragos, advising on celebrity crisis & PR strategy. As co-owner of dripZ, Laurie helped scale the footwear brand @dripcreationz to over 1 million followers & 1,000+ influencer ambassadors-demonstrating her unmatched ability to build brand love & community at scale. The rise of AI & generative technologies has transformed the marketing landscape, & Laurie has been ahead of the curve from the start. Since 2014, she's been integrating AI-driven tools into SEO, PPC, & content strategies, long before most marketers recognized their potential. This early adoption wasn't just forward-thinking-it gave her clients a decisive competitive edge. Today, Laurie's unmatched understanding of AI's capabilities enables brands not just to keep up, but to lead-consistently outperforming their competition with smarter, faster, & more effective marketing leading to happy customers.
