Well-Rounded Contributor
"Laurie has that rare combination of all the qualities a manager can only hope to find in a producer, product manager, or project manager: creativity, management, technology, business, and marketing. She flawlessly managed the most difficult new platform title design, production, and launch LeapFrog's seen to date. Laurie is the person for whom you'd create a position just to have her on your team.” - Tiffany Hill, Senior Producer, Leapfrog

Trusted Leader
"Laurie is a very effective leader and team player. She is proactive in solving problems and attacking challenges. It has been a pleasure to be part of her team." - Torrey Lippencott, Producer, Leapfrog

"Working with Laura at LeapFrog on a high-stakes product development project, I found her management skills a rare combination of high standards and positive attitude. She truly values teamwork, respecting and enjoying the skills and creativity each person brings to the effort, able to delegate with trust. Laura’s dedicated efforts focused on both the big picture and the details.” - Christine Freeman, Associate Producer, Leapfrog

"As a representative of Leapfrog to outside companies, she is consistently professional and well spoken. When speaking with external contacts, she has a good instinct about which issues/questions for which she needs to get input from her Senior Producer." - Keli Wong, Senior Producer, Leapfrog

"Laurie's degree of self-initiative was inspiring. She often worked above and beyond her role to ensure that she was well-prepared for the task at hand." - Stephen Lam, Senior Audio Lead, Leapfrog

Effective Team Builder
"I've been very impressed with how she advocates for the whole team, not just the producers. She is one of the few producers here that seem to get that the job of the producer is to balance the needs of all groups equally." - Dean Burris, Senior Development Manager, Leapfrog

"Laurie is one of the rare examples of a manager who can closely monitor the progress of the studios without being seen as an unwelcome micro-manager. Although she made sure she knew in serious detail where every studio was with their deliverable, the leads loved here and really appreciated her thoroughness, and would often voice this opinion in meetings." - Anne Cunningham, Associate Producer, Leapfrog

"Laurie excelled in the difficult task of working with both audio and implementation in funneling through quick and difficult design changes from Marketing and Executives. She has also served as one of the go-to-persons for a lot of team members for questions because of her friendly attitude and quick grasp of the design of the content." -Stephen Lam, Senior Audio Lead, Leapfrog

Efficient Project Manager
"Laura was a superstar producer of Leapster. While working with her and others for almost a year, I came to know her as a confident and competent person who is thorough in her analysis and project management process. Without her calm and rational coordination of several titles, I'm not sure they would have ever gotten to market on time for Christmas. My sincere thanks to Laura for her great effort" - Glen Hamilton, Engineering Senior Director, Leapfrog

"I worked with Laura for two years at LeapFrog, and she has greatly impressed me with her project management skill. She is absolutely amazing in her ability to stay on top of every detail of the effort, as well as communicating to software engineers in the appropriate amount of detail necessary (no more, no less!)" - Dean Burris, Senior Development Manager, Leapfrog
