Background

About Stef Lauer

Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I have always been fascinated about how companies create value and build lasting connections with their customers. This fascination has been the driving force throughout my career — from founding and scaling my own creative production agency, to directing global marketing operations and creative delivery teams at companies like Philips, Accenture, and FedEx. Over 15+ years, I have built a reputation for combining strategic vision with operational excellence. I specialize in scaling global teams, orchestrating marketing and creative operations, driving campaign delivery, and enhancing brand and customer experience across markets. Whether leading the creation and production of multi-million-euro global campaigns, optimizing marketing operating models, or building high-performing project management teams, I thrive at the intersection of leadership, creativity, and structured growth. My approach is hands-on, people-centered, and fueled by enthusiasm, energy, wit, and a drive to make complex processes work simply and effectively. Core strengths:// Global Marketing Operations & Creative Delivery // Leadership of Cross-Functional Teams // Campaign Execution and Production Excellence // Operating Model and Process Optimization // Marketing Strategy and Automation When I’m not helping brands grow, you’ll find me enjoying life with my wife and son, exploring new cities and cuisines, experimenting in the kitchen as an enthusiastic hobby-chef, or getting lost in a good book or series.
