Laurel Burton is a force. As CEO of Instrument, she’s built a career by wearing a hundred hats, pushing through late nights, and leading with the kind of creative fire that doesn’t ask permission.

In this conversation, Laurel opens up about the path that got her here, from single mom to the C-suite, and what it really means to lead as a woman in an industry that’s still evolving. We talk about resilience, ambition, collective progress, and why she’s always been drawn to building what’s next.

She’s sharp, thoughtful, and full of momentum. Laurel doesn’t just talk about progress, she embodies it.
