Lauren Boraud

I’m a public affairs and government relations professional who advises executive leadership on policy, regulatory, and political strategy. I bring a strong track record in legislative advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and policy communications.

As Vice President of Corporate Public Affairs at International Bank of Commerce (IBC Bank), I serve as Chief of Staff for public and government affairs. I engage federal and state officials on issues including banking regulation, immigration, infrastructure, and trade—while drafting speeches, policy papers, newsletters, and other executive communications.

I also manage all operations of corporate PACs, including compliance, fundraising strategy, and reporting. I’ve planned and executed high-profile events and fundraisers, raising over $10M since 2023, and coordinated multi-city events for national political campaigns with logistics support involving federal agencies.

Before corporate public affairs, I supported USAID-funded development programs across Asia and Afghanistan through program management work, and helped refugees and asylees with employment placement and workforce integration. I’ve also managed a 3,400-resident community as a Resident Director, leading hiring, budgeting, crisis response, and conflict resolution.
