Lori's Pathway to Success

Lori Lennon is a modern trailblazer in her own right. Upon meeting her, she was a woman who could see the true potential in a person. Now, she is an award-winning member of the 2025 Northeastern Women Who Empower cohort. Having graduated from the University in 2004 with her Bachelor's in Journalism, she spent nearly a decade in television news. Furthermore, Lori also joined Northeastern’s College of Science, where she served as the Director of Communications. 

    After making the transition to become a full-time entrepreneur, Lori established the science communications firm, Thinkubator Media, in 2019. She brings her dynamic personality along with 20+ years of expertise to budding brands and innovators. Lori’s specialty is synthesizing unique, complex, and important information to help people better understand and appreciate the hidden gems in STEM. From the early stages of Thinkubator Media, Lori and her growing team have supported several brands and thought leaders across STEM industries as they develop their output.

    Her hand-selected team brings a plethora of experiences and personalities to draw from, giving Thinkubator Media its cutting edge. She has traveled internationally to provide hands-on training in communications and brand development. Her most recent venture brought her all the way to China! Lori continues to collaborate internationally with several notable women across various sectors, from astrophysics to medical innovation. 

Looking Forward

    Lori is on a continuous quest to create her own path and support others who are doing the same in the name of a better world. Her open heart and mind have made it possible to make and facilitate lasting connections through Thinkubator Media and beyond. As a woman who manages so much, it is no wonder that Lori is truly an inspiration, an adored friend, and a trusted mother. Now, she is also a recipient of the 2025 Northeastern Women Who Empower Innovator Award!

    Although the judges mainly considered specific industries, they made a special place for Lori for her commitment to “empowering women in STEM through branding and coaching.” Along with 30 other winners, Lori has been selected for a unique fellowship opportunity in honor of the Innovator Awards’ fifth year running. Thereupon, each recipient receives funding along with global networking and training opportunities to support further development and programming. After 9 months, the program will conclude with the 2026 Northeastern Global Leadership Summit in London. 

Congratulations, Lori! Here’s to a fruitful experience with your fellow recipients of the 2025 Northeastern Women Who Empower Innovator Award.
