Summary
Lauren Haynes is a product and strategy leader with 11 years of experience applying design thinking and change management to technology for social impact, currently supervising Product Track Fellows at the U.S. Digital Corps. She has led cross-disciplinary teams—data scientists, engineers, UX designers, and change managers—to deliver high-impact public services, including a Pandemic EBT rollout serving 1.6M families and integrated safety-net applications used by tens of thousands. At Code for America she launched multi-program benefits products in months, and earlier at Arity she married privacy-aware B2B telematics strategy with consumer reach. Comfortable operating between policy, data, and product, she has also managed multi-million dollar portfolios and fellowship programs at the University of Chicago, demonstrating strength in partner management and operational scale-up. Collected outcomes and rapid delivery under ambiguity are hallmarks of her approach, as is a knack for turning academic partnerships and grant funding into deployable civic technology.
