First Impressions
This person had their first real 'non-work' conversation with Lara ~4 years into the job!
Suraj
This person thought Lara was an extrovert for the longest time because she is so natural in her 'client persona'
Alexandra
Something Lara might remember about how the team had to check quant data *back in the day*
Print out the tabs, put them in a binder, and run through them by hand, resulting in team members literally being 'knee deep in data' when starting
When we all got to see a different side of Lara via her ultra competitive side
This person had ~5 coffee chats meeting the team and everyone asked if he/she had met Lara yet. Each one would expound about how Lara is just so brilliant, friendly, AND British and it built up this whole persona of this incredible person who he/she would get to learn from.
Amy
After 3 years, I can confidently say they were all right!! I have learnt so much from Lara and hope that in the future my team talks about me just as highly
Lara might (fondly) remember this specific client who always joined zoom/teams calls with a guitar in his background
Gary @ Sanofi
This person first met Lara at a Harry Potter themed team event at The Cauldron in NYC.
Deepika
This person had heard that Lara often left an abundance of comments on quant decks and was very nervous starting their first project with her.
Madison
Also - I'll take the abundance of comments if they are always so encouraging and kind!!
Something Lara might remember about the Leqvio ATU
Managing Rockwell and Karen through the rollercoaster ride
The most noted and favorite in person event with Lara
Harry Potter immersive experience
This person was intimidated by Lara's 'cool NYC style', worldly persona, and English accent the first time he/she met her.
Colin
Lara might remember this client who frequently teased her for "Britishisms" - showing off by using the term 'hogwash' and pointing out her use of the phrase 'different kettle of fish' vs. 'different can of worms'
