Our Leadership
We live to create the next big thing.
With a passion for all things Talent and a background in multiple facets of talent management as well as supporting hybrid-distributed teams, its no surprise Lara finds herself leading the Talent team at R&P. As one of the first talent-focused team members to join back in 2014, she has been directly involved in building and implementing key programs and frameworks focused on overall talent engagement and talent success. She brings expertise around new hire-onboarding, total rewards practices, learning and development, internal communications and enhancing internal policies.
You can often find Lara trying to find out random fun facts about our talent, convincing her team to help her with her most recent talent event idea she’s obsessing over, or trying to get her dog (the unofficial official talent experience team intern) to stop interrupting her zoom calls. Lara prioritizes being empathetic in how she approaches her work, supports her team and enables Talent – guiding and leading with influence.
We are the builders who are building a world that has never been built before.
