"I recently had the privilege of bringing Laura Fiacco in to facilitate a Business Acumen workshop for the Business Insights group at WP Engine, and it was a standout experience.

The session focused on a critical objective for our team: the evolution from analysts to strategic business partners. Laura didn't just present theory; she provided a practical toolkit for navigating this continuum—moving the team from reactive reporting to proactively driving business outcomes.

She expertly guided us through frameworks on Strategic Prioritization (aligning energy to the 'Size of Prize'), Deep Discovery (diagnosing the core business need), and Influencing Outcomes (driving decisions & actions).

Having worked with Laura previously at LinkedIn, it was a genuine pleasure to welcome her back to guide my current team. She has a rare ability to connect with analytical minds, leading the room with authority, empathy, and deep subject matter expertise.

If you are looking to elevate your data team's business acumen and impact, I cannot recommend Laura highly enough."
