Laura Wall Klieves
Laura Wall Klieves’ eclectic business background began in advertising—specifically automotive advertising. With over two decades on the client side and in advertising and marketing agencies as an executive leader, Laura pivoted her career into Learning & Development.
For almost ten years, Laura ran the public-facing learning academy for Duarte—a communications firm specializing in presentations. As the daughter of an elementary school teacher, Laura discovered her unrequited love for teaching at Duarte. New to the HR world, but not new to executive leadership, communications and L&D, Laura’s most recent gig is on the People Team with Malwarebytes. With the dual role of leading L&D and driving internal communications’ initiatives, Laura knits together her vast knowledge of visual storytelling and learning to elevate the growing cybersecurity organization’s leadership and management teams, along with empowering the growth of everyone.
