About Laura Kozel

Proactive and self-motivated leader with uncompromising integrity. • Courage: I am not afraid to tackle a company’s most difficult issues such as tough business relationships or having to learn Italian to communicate with my 30 project leads. I live by the words of the ancient Samurai warrior “Move forward with no fear.” • Execution: I will get any job done, even in the most challenging of circumstances with integrity • Leadership: I provide a supportive setting, giving clear direction and goals, being honest and facing issues as they arise. I take care of my teams and want them to be successful. • Strategist/Clear Thinker: I quickly assess situations and work with the team to execute. • Build Solid Relationships: I take the time to listen to people and respect their opinions. Since early in my career, I have bridged the gap between internal organizations, suppliers and customers (Reference 9/5/93 Cover NYT Business Section).
