Lauren Tharp

For the past 10 years, I have held operational roles in education and EdTech. I recently completed my MBA from Chicago Booth and have worked at well-established universities, early stage start-ups, and I recently transitioned to the Chief of Staff role at a fast-growing EdTech start-up in Chicago.

Pro Tip

Create an Asana board for each of the CEO's direct reports so I can follow all of their projects.

Gives

I anticipate being an active member of the community - sharing my successes and failures as well as my ideas. Even though I have never officially been a Chief of Staff, I was hired for the role because I am an expert on staying organized, thinking about creative solutions for hard problems, and creating strong relationships with important stakeholders.

Asks

There are no equivalent roles at my company and I have never had this position before. I would love to be able to ask questions, search for information about various initiatives I am trying to implement at our company, and simply have a network of others who have faced similar problems.
