escapee club
You didn't escape corporate to lose your identity. You escaped to reclaim it.
What makes you irreplaceable is everything you've already lived. The career plot twists and the cultural roots that shaped you. You just need a brand that communicates that as powerfully as you live it.

Build influence for who you are, not just the titles you've held
This was never really about escaping corporate
It's about escaping the grip it had on your identity, and taking back control of the narrative and the impact you’re here to make. For years the title did your explaining. This is where you learn to do it yourself, and do it better.

Five weeks that take you from scattered to a story so clear you finally know exactly what you want to be known for.

this room
One of the biggest surprises after leaving corporate wasn't losing the title. It was losing the room. The people, the hallway conversations, the feeling that someone got what you were carrying.
Corporate Escapee Club exists because I wanted to build that room again. The one where people challenge you, celebrate you, and help you see the strengths you've overlooked.
Because clarity happens faster in community, and you were never meant to build this alone. ❤️

Hola, I'm Lu
From Fortune 100 to your brand's biggest cheerleader
I spent over 15 years in corporate strategy and executive communications, with my last chapter in a Fortune 100 Chief of Staff office. I was the person senior leaders called when the strategy needed to land, the story needed to move people, and the room needed to walk away aligned. I loved that work. And then I became the founder sitting across the table trying to figure out how to tell my own story.
I built Thread Studio because I know what it feels like to carry deep expertise, bold vision, and a fire for what you're building, and still struggle to make the brand match. I bring a storytelling lens to everything I do, blending strategy with the kind of warmth and cultural richness that makes your brand feel alive, intentional, and impossible to replicate.
I'm here to help you see what I see: that everything you've built, survived, and believed in long enough to start deserves a brand that stands out as boldly as you do.
