About Laura Cox Kaplan

Laura Cox Kaplan is the creator of She Said / She Said — a multimedia platform for women who strive to live their best lives with intention and who are seeking insight and inspiration through thoughtful conversation and content focused on women.

Laura’s 30-year career spans some of the highest institutions in Washington, DC — a place of constant change. She spent ten years on the executive management team of global professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, where she served as Principal-in-Charge of Government, Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy, coordinating strategies across more than 150 countries. Before that Laura held senior positions at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, after getting her start as a Press Secretary on Capitol Hill.

A common thread for Laura has been not only navigating change, but understanding and mastering the art of influence — in government, business, communications, advocacy, and in navigating family life.

Motivated by a desire to pay her life’s work forward and to invest in other women, she recognized the power and potential in sharing stories of how successful women have understood, embraced, and leveraged influence. She followed her own advice — “understand your fear, but don’t let it stop you” — and She Said/She Said podcast was born.

Each week, Laura unpacks the concept of influence as the driving force for getting what you want. She brings together compelling storytelling with actionable advice about women’s lives and careers, encouraging thoughtful, authentic perspective that can be difficult to find.
