Natalie Laro
Senior Director of People
The 10,000 ft view...Time in Industry, Hometown, Window, or Aisle:Grew up in Danbury, CT. Over 10 years in HR. History of working for agencies & various start-ups. Fell into HR organically when I had a pretty terrible work experience after college and pivoted jobs with the hope of making people's experiences at work better. Always the isle seat on a plane. I hate feeling trapped and having to wake people up to get by. Also reconfirmed with latest news stories lol.

What excites you the most about HR/People Ops?HR/People Ops continues to evolve. Especially after the last few years of remote work. Its a rewarding challenge where you continue to learn and grow through the different experiences you're faced with and different people you meet.
What’s one thing you’re proud of at DMi?DMi really lives its core values. It's not forced like you can see in other companies. It evident every week during our team meetings that the employees here take pride in their work and building people up around them.
