Laura Henson

I've spent more than 20 years helping founders, executives, investors and mission-driven organizations become known for what they actually know. In 2006 I founded HVM Communications, a New York based strategic PR firm focused on brand storytelling, media relations and thought leadership. Since then I've advised clients across finance, tech, clean energy, wellness and social impact, after earlier communications roles at brands including Condé Nast and Hermès. I also write for Inc.com, speak and moderate regularly, and was named one of the 100 Women to KNOW in America in 2025. Alongside my communications work, I invest across venture capital, private equity and women-led businesses, including as a founding member and cap table investor in Marble Collective. I chair the board of Goodnation, a philanthropy platform and fiscal sponsor, and sit on the Executive Board of How Women Lead, a network of more than 24,000 executive women. If you're a founder heading into a raise, an investor building a public profile, or a leader whose reputation lags behind your track record, I can help you sharpen your story, work out who needs to hear it, and get it in front of them.
