Lauren Shamo is a video producer based in New York City with more than nine years of experience across business news and digital-first storytelling. Most recently at CNBC Make It, she produced and often edited YouTube features end to end: finding the story, pitching it, interviewing subjects, writing the script, cutting the video, and packaging it with headlines and thumbnails informed by performance data. Her work includes Shankweiler’s Drive-In (3.4M+ views), cash stuffing (2.3M), and Freja and New Balance (1.7M each). Her Stanley cup story was featured on NBC News.

Before that, she was on the founding team of Business Insider Today, where she grew from main video editor to producer. There she scripted and filmed daily segments, directed live interviews from the control room, interviewed Jane Fonda and Alexis Ohanian, and covered Davos 2019. She also produced same-day news, including “Kavanaugh Meets #MeToo.”

Lauren was a producer and assistant director on the feature film Six Weeks To Twelve Years. She holds BAs in Media and Information and in Creative Advertising from Michigan State University.
