In 2020, Laura was then named one of the 100 Leaders transforming business by Business Insider and among the most creative people by FORBES.
Laura joined Red Points in 2014 as CEO & Partner, and during her time in this position, she has been the driving force in making the company a globally renowned SaaS solution. Following Laura’s vision and business savvy, Red Points has developed its business model to help global enterprises of all types to recover their digital revenues from counterfeiting, piracy, impersonations & other online infractions.
