We’re delighted to share that Lauren Keen has been recognised as a C&IT Agency A-Lister for 2024 — an incredible achievement and a proud moment for all of us at Principal.
Lauren has been a key part of Principal for 8.5 years, and her journey is a true reflection of the ambition, talent and commitment she brings to everything she does. Having progressed from Project Executive in 2016 to Project Director, Lauren is now an established member of our Senior Leadership Team, shaping both project delivery and wider business strategy.
A standout leader
In 2024, Lauren led our largest and most creative event of the year, while also transforming a smaller client relationship into our biggest — securing four events for 2025.
