A broker specializing in private placements & venture advisory, Lara grew up in Montana and is pleased to bring wall street to main street.

Leadership Experience

I spent much of my career on wall street, managing portfolio risk and creating trade analytics for the Fixed Income markets. I held COO roles in both Foreign Exchange and Fixed Income Research where I managed operations teams and technology roadmaps. I'm also a veteran of that wonderful dotcom era where I was an angel investor and director of @once, an email marketing business that was bought by YesMail. Throughout my adventures, even within Morgan Stanley, I approach problems with the energy and enthusiasm of a startup. I enjoy advising companies and believe there is a huge opportunity to change the funding opportunities especially in rural areas.

How I want to participate in PowerHouse

Empowering women entrepreneurs through crowdfunding and business advisory.

Other Information

There is a revolution underway in the capital markets where traditional banking is being disrupted by technology (#fintech) and technology is transforming agriculture (#agtech). I believe the internet makes it possible for us to contribute to these radical changes while living where are families are and in the place we love (#Montana).
