Let's build a stronger Concord together.
Joe Laurin for Concord Select Board
Joe has demonstrated his commitment to building a stronger Concord. His experience advocating for small businesses gives him
Joe Laurin moved to Concord in 2009 with his wife, Maureen, and his twin boys. His mother-in-law and other extended family soon moved next door and now call Concord home. His sons attended Concord Public Schools and are now thriving in college. Educated as an engineer at Union College in NY, Joe pursued an MBA at University of Chicago. In 2018 Joe joined a small data science company in Burlington, Mass. as CFO and is now its CEO. He has also held senior roles in engineering, management consultancy and financial services at companies such as General Electric and Fidelity Investments. As a dedicated volunteer, Joe has contributed countless hours to several organizations around Concord, including the Scholarship Fund of Concord & Carlisle, Kicks for Cancer, Concord Free Public Library, Concord youth sports, and Cub Scouts. Outside of Concord he has volunteered with Tenacity (literacy and fitness for underserved youth), Boston Partners for Education, and the Entrepreneurs Forum.
Joe will bring 45 years of broad business experience that spans finance, human resources, technology, healthcare and insurance as well as his passion for education and volunteerism to Concord’s Select Board. A keen listener and trusted adviser, he is adept at understanding key issues and opportunities and has a proven track record of solving complex problems and collaborating across teams to achieve pragmatic solutions. He prioritizes data-driven and thoughtful discussion that leads to transparent, strategic decisions and workable plans. With his multi-generational network of friends and family, Joe believes that living in Concord should be attainable and sustainable for residents of all ages. He also believes that -- for him -- living here brings a commitment to giving back to protect our town for generations. With both great challenges and opportunities on the horizon for Concord that will shape the town for decades to come, Joe will bring what it takes to ensure Concord continues to be a town we all love.
