About me

With a background in property development, automation strategy, and startup growth, Laura founded BankBuild to redefine how construction finance is verified and managed.

Prior to BankBuild, Laura was a core member of Sparesbox, one of Australia’s leading e-commerce automotive platforms — successfully scaling it to exit. That experience in building digital infrastructure and data-driven operations now shapes BankBuild’s approach to construction technology.

Laura leads the company’s strategy, product direction, and partnerships — uniting lenders, QS firms, and builders through automation that delivers faster verification, greater transparency, and complete financial confidence.
