From her early days at Legg Mason and Citigroup to her role as Managing Director at Bramshill Investments, where she spent six years, Laura has consistently demonstrated an ability to connect capital with opportunity. Her more recent positions leading Investor Relations and Capital Formation at Nyca Partners and Captona have only sharpened this expertise.

"Venture capital is about understanding both the technical aspects of investing and the human elements of partnership," Laura says. This philosophy, developed through her experience at firms like Baron Capital Group and BP Capital, aligns with Venture Forward Capital's approach.

Laura's career spans relationship management across investment firms. After roles at Legg Mason and Citigroup, she held Investment Specialist positions at Baron Capital Group and served as Vice President at BP Capital before joining Bramshill Investments, where she became Managing Director. Most recently, she led Investor Relations and Capital Formation at Nyca Partners and Captona.

Mike Schatzman, Founder & Managing Partner at Venture Forward Capital, recognized the combination of experience and relationship-building that Laura brings. "Her track record speaks for itself, and her ability to connect with investors is something special. We couldn't be more thrilled to have her on board."

Looking ahead, Laura says, "At the end of the day, it's all about relationships. The right partnership can make or break a company's journey, and I'm here to help our founders and investors make the most of every opportunity."
