Laura is a skillful and dynamic MBA with extensive experience managing complex projects from start to completion, while enhancing client experience with design-led thinking and meeting all scheduled dates.

Laura brings unique expertise in the role organizational decision-making plays in preventing serious and fatal injuries. Since joining Krause Bell Group in 2018, she has led large-scale decision-making studies for global client organizations, reviewing more than 300 SIF actual and potential incident investigations and conducting over 300 interviews with safety and operations professionals across 17 industries and over 35 countries—from construction and energy to retail and manufacturing.

Drawing on this extensive work, Laura has developed deep insights into how decisions made across all organizational levels and functions—often over long periods of time—create the context in which serious injuries and fatalities occur. She brings a rigorous, systems-level approach to understanding how networks of decisions unfold, how leadership choices shape downstream realities, where decision breakdowns occur, and the cognitive biases that influence them.
