For almost a decade Lara Owen has been an advocate for flexible work solutions, and has a proven track record of designing operations and spaces that foster both inclusivity and autonomy for a distributed workforce. At GitHub, Lara enhanced their work from home reimbursement program to provide both a competitive amenity and recruiting tool, built a high-functioning Workplace Experience team from scratch, developed a global remote-first real estate strategy, oversaw the design and build of several award-winning offices, and helped the Physical Security team define their duty of care for home office workers.
Lara has also spoken at conferences and written articles about her failures and successes creating a hybrid culture, and loves to nerd out with anyone willing to discuss office design and remote work.
