Tech Talk 2022: Laura Kempf | Merative

After a successful career in finance, Laura decided to take a different role as a Lean Champion. Little did she know at the time, that the new position would set her on a path of process improvement that also included improving her leadership style. Inspiring Bold was born from this journey and while she shares many experiences and learnings, her focus on self-awareness and servant leadership have been key in changing her leadership, changing her life, and changing the world around her.

This journey has taken her to her current role as MarketScan Client Success & Delivery Director (which she loves). It has reconnected her with a love for writing and allowed her to find a new passion in serving clients. In focusing on self-awareness and servant leadership, she encourages and inspires other leaders to do the same.

Laura Kempf received a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Purdue and an MBA from the University of Chicago. She authored her journey in a book titled “Inspiring Bold” and teaches Lean Leadership as an adjunct professor at Oakland University.
