Lauren Cody
Fractional Operations Executive and Operating Advisor
I founded Advanced Interactions, LLC to help companies scale smarter. With nearly 20 years of experience leading operations, client service, and cross-functional teams in fast-growth, high-change environments — including Fortune 500 brands, PE-backed agencies, and startups — I work with executive teams to turn strategy into outcomes by clarifying priorities, aligning teams, and building systems that drive performance and growth.
Every business hits points of friction — operational, strategic or structural. That’s where I come in.
Align people, processes, and systems to unlock deal value and avoid costly missteps.
Identify inefficiencies, standardize operations, and implement tools that make work smoother and faster.
Facilitate goal-setting and roadmap development—and drive accountability to get it done.
Define the roles, structure, and talent needed to support today’s work and tomorrow’s growth.
Build smart, fair agency/vendor selection processes tailored to your goals and internal realities.
Establish the rhythms, tools, and forums that keep leadership aligned and teams focused.
We start with a deep dive into your business—its goals, challenges, workflows, and team dynamics.
I assess where gaps exist, where complexity is slowing you down, and what’s misaligned across your org.
You’ll get a custom strategy map that reflects your business vertical, maturity stage, and growth goals.
Depending on your needs, I can help lead implementation, coach your team, or advise through transition.
I had the pleasure of working with Lauren Cody for over four years on projects spanning strategy, product launches, sales operations, and go-to-market planning. She’s both a strategic thinker and a relentless executor—able to drive alignment across teams and rally even the most opinionated leaders around a shared goal. Lauren leads with clarity and empathy, earning deep respect from peers and teams alike. She understands how to scale businesses holistically, and I recommend her wholeheartedly for senior leadership roles.
Lauren really defines operational excellence. She’s incredibly organized, detail oriented, efficient, and passionate. It’s been so great working with her because whatever area she’s owning or working on, you never have to think twice about it. She can effectively corral different and opinionated leaders around a common objective, which isn’t an easy feat! Lauren is also the consummate team-player. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lauren as an operator and business leader and would very much enjoy working with her again in the future.
Simply put, Lauren is awesome! She has been my go-to person to get things done and help me lead the company. She is highly productive and is willing to learn and put those learnings to good use. She brings a positive energy and calm confidence that inspires others to do good work and have fun along the way. She is willing to tackle any challenge and can put process in place, making order out of chaos. She is a bright and talented leader that is easy to recommend!
Lauren is a rock star... She has a deep understanding of, and an ability to execute within, the disciplines of sales operations, sales support and customer relationship management. Her effort will help expand any sales pipeline. She also has a good sense of marketing and how it couples with sales to grow the profit center.
Whether you need an interim leader, a fresh set of eyes, or someone to roll up their sleeves alongside your team — I’m here to help.
Let’s build the systems, clarity, and operational backbone you need to scale with confidence.
