Lauren Morales

Lauren serves as the Executive Assistant to the CEO/CIO as well as Grounded Capital’s unofficial cheerleader-in-chief. She coordinates any-and-all details of the day-to-day, and is always happy to volunteer a hand, an ear, or an idea! Lauren comes to Grounded following successful executive support roles in New York at financial institutions including Perry Capital, BlackRock and Fred Alger Management. Lauren received her BA in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as her MA in Behavioral Neuroscience at NYU. She enjoys international travel, baking (i.e., taste-testing desserts!), and hiking off the beaten path with her pup, Winnie, an incredibly brave 11-lb dachshund-mix who is always up for a new adventure.
