When Laurel Cipriani joined Brown’s master’s in technology leadership program, she expected to grow professionally. What she found was something far greater: a transformative experience that expanded her perspective, connected her with an extraordinary community and opened doors she never imagined possible.

Today, as a CIO, think tank member and global speaker, Laurel is leading conversations at the intersection of technology, innovation and leadership — from the World Economic Forum in Davos to the World Bank Spring Meetings in Washington, D.C.
