Summary
Lauren Rabaino is a media and product operations leader with 15 years of experience building newsroom-facing technology and scaling editorial businesses, currently serving as COO of Vox Media in New York. She moved up through product and operations roles at Vox—owning editorial tools, R&D, brand development, and large CMS migrations—so she blends hands-on product management with C-suite execution. Her background as a reporter and news applications editor gives her rare empathy for journalists and a strong track record of translating newsroom needs into scalable engineering and design solutions. She led cross-functional teams through responsive redesigns, new content types, newsletters, and platform integrations that materially increased publishing capabilities. A data-curious operator with a Data Analytics certification and a journalism degree, she pairs qualitative editorial instincts with quantitative decision-making. Colleagues describe her as the connective tissue between newsroom creativity and operational rigor, able to shepherd complex projects from prototype to enterprise rollout.
