Bio
Julia Bloom
I had an opportunity to work with Laura while building a new line of business at OTIP. Laura is an amazing leader, visionary and strategic in her approach. She has an amazing ability to inspire people to break through their comfort zone and achieve greatness by aiming higher. It has been a true blessing to work with Laura and I would do so again any day.

I had the pleasure of working with Laura for 8 years. She is an inspiring leader who always puts her people first. Laura is a brilliant CFO who has the unique ability to understand not only the financial workings of an organization, but also the much larger strategic, operational, business and technology drivers that are key to a company's success. Over the years I saw Laura lead many critical initiatives, always with drive and focus that ensured a successful outcome. She brings a fresh perspective to every problem and inspires those around her to seek innovative solutions while staying focussed on results.
