For more than four decades, Laura Slay has helped big thinkers, big dreamers and big doers bring forth new ideas and products that improve our community, our state and our world.

She has been an advisor, strategist and communications director for high-net-worth individuals, philanthropists, non-profits, universities, and entrepreneurs helping them realize their vision for their organizations and their communities. 

Through organizational design and team scaling, building and managing strategic partnerships and relations, and brand and reputation management, her leadership has transformed early-stage commercial and philanthropic ventures into scalable, high impact successes.

 

What began as an early interest in pursuing all she could learn about wine, wine regions and winemaking, became a decades-long avocation, which led her to assisting in the production of sparkling wine using the traditional method, winery tasting room management, consulting with wineries and a regional winery coalition, designing an award-winning wine label, and pursuing professional wine certifications.
