Lauren Donazzan

Director

Lauren’s career has led her to live and work in some of the world’s most vibrant and culturally alive cities, including New York, Hong Kong and, of course, Melbourne. Her 10 years’ experience as a lawyer has included positions at notable law firms Minter Ellison and Sullivan & Cromwell, where she specialised in mergers and acquisitions. More recently, her role as in-house Legal Counsel at Coles has seen her work broadly across banking and finance, M&A, corporate governance, strategic projects, compliance, regulation, and risk management.

Passionate about organisations with purpose and a focus on sustainability, Lauren is currently a Senior Finance Manager at Coles, where she leads the Treasury and Banking team as Deputy Treasurer and is responsible for managing Coles’ debt portfolio, liquidity and financial risks.

Lauren has long been a devotee of the Melbourne art scene and is an ardent lover of all great things the city has to offer – wine, food, art, theatre, literature and of course dance. This passion has developed into a commitment to supporting the arts through her position on the Chunky Move board, where she aims to aid in the work of this important contributor to Melbourne’s cultural voice.
