Lauren Lopez

For over twenty years, Lauren Lopez has worked to open the door to opportunity and to make sure people have the support to walk through it. A People and Talent executive who rose from humble beginnings to the C-suite, as the inaugural Chief People Officer for the NWSL during a critical moment in the league's history. She now channels that experience into First Focus, the company she founded to democratize the insider knowledge that drives career growth. Her purpose is simple: to make the blueprint for professional success available to everyone. So often, that blueprint, the unwritten rules of navigating corporate halls, boardrooms, and politics is a code only a privileged few ever crack. Lau
