A very well-deserved congratulations to our own Lauren Smith on being named one of the Houston Business Journalโs 2026 Women Who Mean Business!
If you know Lauren, you know sheโs not someone who seeks the spotlightโwhich is part of what makes this recognition so meaningful.
Lauren is truly the glue that holds so much together around here. She works tirelessly behind the scenes, anticipates what our team and clients need before they ask, and somehow manages to keep a hundred moving pieces moving in the right direction. And we know from years of client relationships that our clients feel the same way about her that we do.
Her leadership isnโt loud. It shows up in her consistency, her judgment, her willingness to step in wherever sheโs needed and the genuine care she brings to the people around her.
The Houston Business Journalโs Women Who Mean Business Awards recognize women whose leadership, professional accomplishments and contributions are making an impact across Houston. We canโt think of anyone more deserving of a place among this yearโs honorees.
Congratulations, Lauren! Weโre incredibly proud of youโand very lucky to have you on our team.
