Overview
When market-leading organizations face their most complex strategic challenges—the unknowns that keep boards awake at night—they turn to Lauruse. Crisis-Ready Design & Transformation is the discipline of identifying where digital disruption, macroeconomic volatility, operational vulnerability, and security exposure are converging before they compound into something your organization cannot recover from quickly enough to matter. No single discipline catches all of it, which is why this isn't one advisor's judgment call. It's specialists working the same problem from four different angles, at the same time. We don't build contingency plans. We build organizations structurally designed to turn disruption into advantage.
Our Experts
Crisis-Ready Design & Transformation is led by a team built to see convergence before it costs you—specialists who have each spent decades inside one piece of the puzzle, not generalists spread thin across all of them.
Tasker Generes leads the practice. He is the person a CEO calls when the picture stops making sense: the threat has a name, the advisors have a plan, and something still feels wrong. He grew up inside a global technology company, spending thirteen years rotating through nearly every division on purpose—as a consultant, process engineer, change leader, and executive. He wasn't building a career. He was learning how organizations actually work, from every seat. Since then he has done the same work at larger scale: Chief Technology and Strategy Officer for a national transportation infrastructure operator, a decade inside a global enterprise software company, and a board seat at a blockchain technology company. Along the way, he earned six patents. One idea connects all of it. An asset is worth nothing on its own. A Ferrari in a garage is a liability until someone drives it. What a business owns matters far less than what its customers can actually get done. At Lauruse, he works with CEOs and boards on the risks that sit between functions, where no single executive is looking.
Monika Nelson brings the execution discipline. Over two decades inside one of the world's largest consumer goods companies, she led platform unifications across 130,000+ employees and built the Experience Design function that made new technology something people actually used, not just systems that technically worked. When Tasker's team identifies where disruption is converging, Monika's team is the one that turns the response into technology that runs, adopts, and scales—on the timeline a crisis actually allows.
Jamie Taber, PhD brings the policy and economic view. A former Deputy Associate Director for Economic Policy at the Office of Management and Budget, she led macroeconomic forecasting for Presidential budgets and spearheaded the first overhaul of federal cost-benefit analysis guidance since 1992. Her network isn't historical—it's operational, which means she sees policy-driven risk and opportunity earlier than the public record does, before it becomes a crisis the rest of the market reacts to together.
Emanuel Dash brings the counterintelligence view most crisis teams miss entirely. After more than fifteen years in federal counterintelligence and counterterrorism work, he leads our approach to a risk most boards still treat as an afterthought: who is already trying to exploit the assets you're not watching. Drawing on the same risk-assessment discipline used at the federal level, his team identifies critical assets, determines real threats, and closes vulnerabilities before competitors, bad actors, or your own blind spots turn them into the next crisis.
Four disciplines. One room. When Tasker sees a convergence forming, Monika, Jamie, and Emanuel are already looking at it from technology, policy, and threat—at the same time, not in sequence. That is the difference between a crisis response and a crisis design.
