When Laura bought our company in 1998, we were an Oracle Primavera solutions provider known as The Simplex Group, Inc. In 2008, Laura created VPO with Beth Anderson after observing that our customers would have even greater project success if portfolio owners and construction managers had a cloud-based vehicle for efficient and effective collaboration.

Today, AEC professionals use VPO to manage their construction projects expertly from concept through closeout. In May of 2023, VPO was proud to earn certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE). In addition to leading VPO, Laura enjoys serving as a resource for peers, so she volunteers as Vice President of the Three Rivers Chapter of Construction Management Association of America (CMAA).
