Get to Know Kurtis Osborne

June 19, 2023

In an inter­view with one of our awe­some Lawrence & Co. advi­sors Kur­tis Osborne we had a great con­ver­sa­tion about his career to date, the peo­ple who influ­enced him most, and how he found his way from his par­tic­i­pa­tion in bas­ket­ball in uni­ver­si­ty and first career in finance to becom­ing a consultant.

We also talked about:

  • The val­ue of luck, oppor­tu­ni­ty and great rela­tion­ships in his career and the ben­e­fit of ear­ly leader- and mentorship
  • The sweet spot of work­ing at the inter­sec­tion of data and cre­ativ­i­ty, of ana­lyt­ics and mar­ket­ing, and test­ing new ideas
  • What gets him out of bed: the hard work of help­ing entre­pre­neur-led busi­ness­es by inte­grat­ing and sim­pli­fy­ing strate­gies for all-encom­pass­ing prob­lems and chal­lenges — and the end­less dis­cov­ery of new ways of doing business
  • His favourite tools to use with clients and why
  • His resilience rit­u­als and his achieve­ment of earn­ing a #2 rank­ing in the world, for his inter­est­ing hobby.
