Laura Dowler is a talent development professional based in Akron, OH.

I am an expert generalist whose experiences combine research, strategy, and a love of people. Most recently I used subject matter expertise and knowledge to build strong networks of potential candidates for high level executive searches, while additional roles have included research, fundraising, writing, public speaking, and project management. Although these experiences have been diverse, I have always been driven by my guiding principals of curiosity, humility, and empathy. My desire to learn leads me to ask many questions, but curiosity is only the beginning–  I believe strongly that our most important task as humans is to build a sense of community and the key to community building is humility and empathy
