1,421 | How Lauren Wu Redefines Leadership Without Burnout
Lauren Wu, Esq., CIPP/US, is a keynote speaker and former healthcare privacy executive with more than a decade of experience in senior leadership roles at companies such as Evidation Health, Roche, and Exact Sciences. Her work focused on privacy, regulation, and ethical decision making, often shaping how systems operate behind the scenes.
After a significant health event led her to step away from her executive career, Lauren gained a new perspective on how high performing systems often rely on individuals pushing beyond their limits. This experience reshaped her understanding of leadership, power, and sustainability.
Today, Lauren speaks on rethinking power, not as constant output or control, but as the ability to design systems where people can thrive without sacrificing their well being. Through her work, she challenges leaders to see empathy and authenticity as strengths, not liabilities.
She is also a writer and speaker on leadership, ethics, and technology, a board member of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, and a former adjunct instructor at Northwestern University School of Law. Her upcoming children’s books on privacy and digital literacy are set for release in 2026.

Lauren Wu, Esq., CIPP/US, is a keynote speaker and former healthcare privacy executive. For more than a decade, Lauren held senior leadership roles at healthcare and life sciences companies, including Evidation Health, Roche, and Exact Sciences. Her work focused on privacy, regulation, and ethical decision-making, often behind the scenes, where policies, timelines, and incentives quietly shape who bears the cost of success.
Two years ago, Lauren experienced a significant health event that required her to step away from her executive career. What followed was not just recovery, but a reckoning. She began to see how many of the systems we call efficient or high-performing depend on people pushing past their limits, and how often that strain is framed as personal failure rather than a design flaw.
Today, Lauren speaks about rethinking power: not as endurance, control, or constant output, but as the ability to design systems that allow people to stay whole. Drawing from lived experience, Lauren invites audiences to reconsider what strength looks like when empathy and authenticity are treated like assets, not liabilities.
Lauren is a writer and speaker on leadership, ethics, and technology, the author of forthcoming children’s books on privacy and digital literacy (2026), a board member of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (S.T.O.P.), and a recent adjunct instructor at Northwestern University School of Law.
