Kayla Dowd, Senior Customer Success Manager @ Hi Marley

Kayla Dowd has been in and around insurance all her life. As Hi Marley’s first Customer Success Manager, she is on the front lines of representing “simple, lovable communication” for this rapidly growing insurtech startup. Which actually undersells it. Her family has been in the insurance business for 125 years. If her family business did one of those “cumulative team experience” slides it might have a fourth digit on it. Are careers predestined? Do we find our way to an inevitable destination based on our talents, backgrounds, or family dinner table conversation? You have to wonder!
