Laura is one of the most a high energy Talent Acquisition leaders I have ever worked with! She has tremendous passion and drive and cares deeply about making sure her team has the knowledge and resources to deliver in a fast-paced environment. While she and I worked together, she was able to successfully implement Workday Recruiter while managing an unprecedented number of open roles in a tight talent market. She is a strong advocate for DEI and puts inclusivity at the forefront of decision making. She is adept at discovering hard-to-find candidates and building relationships with them. I enjoyed working with her, and especially appreciate her resilience and positivity under pressure – nothing seems to get her down and she is a champion of forward momentum!

Team player. Good communicator. Confident person. Target driven. Positive attitude. These are the top 5 attributes that I think define Laura. As the CEO of Avid Technology since 2018, I can say that Laura was an important contributor that helped our team reshape the company culture, attract significant new talent, and build the initial foundations of a more sustainable DE&I focus and framework in our hiring, engagement and retention efforts. I would highly recommend Laura.

I worked with Laura at Avid Technologies for many years. She initially recruited me to the company, and we later worked together as peers. Laura is a talented recruiter, bringing in some of the most talented and skilled professionals globally that I had the chance to work with during my tenure at Avid. She was instrumental in implementing a new ATS (Applicant Tracking System) within the company. Additionally, she led and managed a group of dedicated and passionate recruiters, and spearheaded our first DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) focus groups. I would welcome the chance to work with Laura again in any capacity. Any company would be fortunate to have her on their team.

Laura’s drive, passion and fierce protection of her team were some of qualities I valued most while we worked together. Laura and I were able to do some great work together bringing in the right talent during a competitive, tight labor market. I also got to see her implement Workday Recruiter and continue to drive the adoption and efficiencies in the tool.
