Career DScribed
Lara always focuses on providing strong leadership, creative, communication, organisational & people skills in challenging & rewarding roles.
She uses her natural strengths to craft compelling products & content – running discoveries (analysis, primary research), specifying requirements, creating personas, deliverables, leading, forecasting, and roadmapping.
Pulling from her global outlook; having lived all around the world (from the UK, Germany & Belgium, to Russia, Hong Kong, Australia & New Zealand) - Lara works hard to consider her audience holistically & inclusively making sure her work can be understood & digested by one-and-all.
