Lauren Kelley

Founder & CEO

Lauren Kelley is the founder of OPEXEngine.  After 25 years in fast growth high tech companies, she founded OPEXEngine to solve the problem that high tech companies lack good quality benchmarks from a neutral provider — especially operational benchmarks  — to reduce risk and improve efficiency and growth.  Lauren is also a big believer that data and benchmarks level the playing field in decision-making, reducing all sorts of biases that can cloud management decision-making, affecting efficient growth.

Prior to OPEXEngine, Lauren led WW revenue and operations for internet and ecommerce pioneer, ATG, as SVP of WW Sales and Strategic Development, from start-up through ATG’s IPO (with one of the highest market valuations in the industry).  ATG was later acquired by Oracle.  Before ATG, Lauren managed part of Borland Software’s European business from Paris, France; and helped build Compaq’s East European business from Munich, Germany.

Lauren has a BA from Tufts University and M.I.A. in political economy from Columbia University.  Lauren’s professional career started as an international economist in the Office of Computers in the US Department of Commerce, where she represented the US supercomputer industry in trade negotiations in Japan and Europe.  Lauren’s entrepreneurial career started in elementary school when she created tie dyed wastebaskets and enlisted her friends to help her sell them by calling numbers in the phone book with similar phone prefixes – an early, manual version of direct marketing.
