Having always been sporty, Laura represented England in Athletics and Netball before moving to Sydney, Australia, in 2008 and finding Triathlon in 2009, a sport in which she began to thrive on. Laura advanced through the Amateur ranks quickly winning four World Amateur Titles at Sprint (2011), 2 x Olympic (2012, 2013) and Half Ironman distance (2013).
Leaving the corporate world, Laura was a Professional Triathlete for 10 years, including twice finishing in the top ten at the IRONMAN World Championships, along with six Ironman wins and countless podiums. In 2023 Laura was hit by a car during the bike segment of a race, suffering a brain bleed. She worked to recover from the TBI, and secured her fastest time ever at the IRONMAN World Championships that year.
A role model, especially for women in sport and business and a member of several boards and committees. An avid support for the Challenge Athlete Foundation and Women’s Sport Trust. A commentator, presenter, writer, coach, consultant and speaker.
A unique tenured professional athlete with a decade long corporate background with the ability to balance business needs with customer centric experiences. Integrating experience in elite sport, corporate and military background to deliver performance workshops, seminars, keynote speeches covering topics of resilience, overcoming adversity, team building, leadership, goal setting, motivation, drive, risk and going all in, goal setting, health and wellbeing, the athlete journey and more.
In 2026, Laura is taking on 7 marathons, 7 continents in 7 days, with the audacious goal of trying to break the world record. But this challenge is about more. It’s about taking back control of your narrative and story, after a TBI. About resilience and challenging yourself. It’s about managing change and transitions, and showing that you can still set goals to achieve great things later in life, and define yourself and own journey. The highs and lows of sport and life and managing setbacks, injury and health.
