Lori G. Brown

I found my calling in payroll at 19—or perhaps it found me. The industry became the foundation that helped me grow into a confident wife, mother, and CEO, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Today, my passion lies in connecting with people, sparking innovation, and making life easier for others. While I’ve traded calculators for conversations that drive change, I’ll never lose sight of my purpose: lifting others up and leading with intent. What I’m All About: Leadership isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about asking the right questions, sharing ideas, and growing together. That’s why I started my blog, Leading with Lori, to explore challenges, celebrate successes, and spark meaningful dialogue. It’s a space to reflect, grow, and inspire—both personally and professionally.
