At Advanstar, a leading worldwide media company, Laura managed the company's acquisition and divestiture programs as Director of Corporate Development. Laura and her team completed more than 40 domestic and international acquisitions, with deal sizes in excess of $200 million. Laura was responsible for managing the end-to-end processes for completing transactions, from developing detailed financial models and valuation scenarios for potential transactions, planning and leading the due diligence exercise, leading or participating in negotiations, and the negotiation of purchase agreements and schedules.
