Summary
Lauralee Flores is a senior product design leader with 12 years of experience who built and now leads the design function at CoreWeave, owning the coherence of its cloud and AI infrastructure platform as it scales. Trained in HCI and applied psychology, she blends rigorous research with product-facing design—she began her career studying how people make sense of complex systems and later shifted to shaping those systems end-to-end. At Weights & Biases she scaled MLOps and LLMOps workflows and shipped growth-driving onboarding that materially increased conversions, and at earlier startups she established design systems and onboarding that dramatically improved activation. She’s skilled at hiring and developing senior designers, defining decision frameworks, and aligning Product and Engineering around structural roadmap choices. Known for focusing on the work that happens before the UI — framing problems, naming constraints, and choosing what not to solve — she also believes the next wave of AI will collapse traditional role boundaries while preserving the need for human judgment. Based in Tucson, AZ, Lauralee combines academic depth with hands-on product building across AI, cloud, and growth-focused platforms.
