Lauren Sanchez is the founder of Sky Story Studios. After eight years leading Apple's Worldwide Strategy & Business Development teams, she knows what makes executives put their phones down, and actually tune in. She flew around the world pitching to Fortune 100 decision-makers, forging partnerships, launching offices, and closing deals. And she learned something that guides everything she does: the best stories inspire and educate. They answer why your company exists, why it matters, and they take the audience on a visual journey and inspire them to join.

Her secret weapon isn't just that she understands her clients, it's that she understands their customers. At Apple, she worked so closely with Deloitte that they gave her her own badge to their HQ and let her interview their top clients directly. That's how she works: like a trusted insider who wears your jersey, knows your buyer, and builds your narrative from the inside out.
She's lived and worked in Sydney, London, Cambridge, Paris, Amsterdam, New York, San Francisco, and Bangkok, launching offices, building teams, and closing deals along the way. Her worldview is as layered as her storytelling, and it shows in every narrative she helps shape.

When she's not in a boardroom, she's backpacking in the wilderness, spending time with her husband and golden retriever, or raising her daughter to be curious, creative, and brave.
