I first heard of Lara Bourguignon when we received an email she sent to all SuperConcepts clients, introducing herself as the new CEO, and inviting us to get in touch via her direct email if we had any concerns or otherwise. I was incredibly impressed so reached out to her on LinkedIn to say so.
I loved how she was so keen to connect, as well as to listen to clients in her early days in the role.
Lara was appointed into the position of CEO, SuperConcepts in April 2019. Prior to that, she was in the role of Director, Strategic Marketing and Customer Experience within SuperConcepts parent company AMP.
You can connect with Lara at SuperConcepts. You can also connect with Lara on LinkedIn.
