When Laura Remaker joined a Philadelphia startup in 2007, she was handed an opportunity and built a blueprint. Tasked with establishing its HR and talent infrastructure, she shaped a culture that scaled to nearly 1,000 employees. That early chapter cemented a philosophy she carries into her current role as principal and chief people officer at G2 Startup Advisors: Build with people in mind, and the business will follow.
Over the past three years, Remaker has helped G2 Startup Advisors expand into a sought-after advisory partner for high-growth startups. Her work centers on helping clients create sustainable operations and inclusive workplaces during their most volatile stages of growth. By pairing equity-minded leadership development with pragmatic strategy, she’s guided founders and teams through massive transformation—without compromising identity or values.
As the work environment continues to shift toward distributed, hybrid and digital-first models, Remaker remains focused on how to prepare leaders for a future where emotional intelligence and adaptability matter as much as technical skills. Her team arms clients with forward-thinking frameworks that prioritize connection and resilience, helping them navigate complexity with composure.
Her recognition as a Titan 100 Honoree reflects not only her results, but also her resonance. Passion, for Remaker, is not sparked solely by success—it’s a steady force. She fuels it with daily practices like journaling, movement and community-building, and she shares it through deep engagement with those she advises. Her leadership is equal parts strategic and human, driven by authenticity.
If she could instantly master any skill, it would be deep, non-reactive listening—the kind that creates space for others to feel truly seen. In her work with founders and executive teams, she’s witnessed how powerful presence can be, especially in fast-moving, high-pressure situations. Mastering this type of listening would elevate not just her impact, but also her relationships, team cohesion and ability to lead meaningful change.
In five years, G2 Startup Advisors will be a national force in talent strategy and organizational design. Remaker envisions a practice that scales not just in size, but in depth—offering clients tailored guidance across every phase of growth. The firm’s influence will span sectors and geographies, but its core will remain unchanged: people first.
What defines Remaker as a Titan in her field is her ability to meet founders where they are—ambitious, unsure and often overwhelmed—and lead them with empathy and clarity. She doesn’t prescribe solutions; she builds capacity. She doesn’t chase trends; she anticipates needs.
Among her proudest achievements is the trust she’s earned from those she serves. Whether supporting a client through an acquisition, building equitable hiring models or delivering impactful keynotes, Remaker’s work is both strategic and soul-driven. Through every milestone, she reinforces a belief too often overlooked in business: that the path to performance starts with presence.
