Lauren Goodell

Biography

Lauren Goodell is a two-time founder, keynote speaker, and go-to-market strategist helping organizations navigate the biggest shift in sales since the internet: the rise of AI.

After spending nearly a decade leading enterprise sales at Microsoft and Salesforce, Lauren built and scaled her own venture-backed technology company before transitioning into advising founders and revenue teams on how to build modern, AI-enabled go-to-market organizations.

Her work sits at the intersection of technology and human connection, helping companies adopt AI in ways that create better customer experiences instead of replacing the relationships that drive revenue.

Lauren has been recognized as one of JPMorgan’s Top 100 Women to Know in the U.S. and a Top 25 Woman in Business by the Charlotte Business Journal. Her insights have been featured on stages across the country, where she speaks on AI adoption, the future of selling, founder-led growth, LinkedIn as a revenue engine, and building trust in an increasingly automated world.

Known for blending founder stories, real-world experience, and immediately applicable frameworks, Lauren’s sessions are practical, engaging, and refreshingly honest. She believes the future doesn’t belong to the people using the most AI—it belongs to the people who know when technology should step in and when a human should.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

The questions planners ask first.

How does the booking process actually work?

You send us a brief. Inside one business day, an advisor comes back with a curated shortlist of three to five speakers we’d back, with reels, fee bands, and a candid note on fit. You pick a direction. We hold the date while you finalize internal approvals, then issue a contract. From there, our team handles travel, AV, and prep calls. Most engagements close in seven to fourteen days.

Standard fees cover the keynote or session itself, one pre-event prep call, and reasonable customization for your audience. Travel, accommodation, and ground transport are separate and itemized before you sign. Your advisor will spell out exactly what’s included for the speaker you’re considering, so there are no surprises later.

 

No. Our commission comes from the speaker’s standard fee, not your budget. The fee you pay through Apogee is the same fee you’d pay booking the speaker directly, with the bureau’s vetting, advisory, and event management built in.

Yes, and often. The fastest way to lose a client is to put a speaker in front of an audience they don’t fit. If we read your brief and think the right answer is a speaker we don’t represent, we’ll say so. Sometimes that means we lose the booking. Most of the time it means we earn a longer relationship.

Carefully, and slower than most bureaus. Every speaker we represent has been chosen because we’d stake our reputation on putting them in front of a room. We review reels, talk to past clients, sit in on live engagements when we can, and look hard at how a speaker handles the harder parts of the work, like Q&A, off-script moments, and difficult audiences. We add more slowly than we get asked to.
