Kelly Dowell
After graduating from Lindenwood University with a BA in Business Administration and an emphasis in Marketing, I joined Dowco full time. Currently, my primary responsibility is to lead the sales & marketing efforts, but what I really enjoy is ensuring that our clients and employees are not happy, but absolutely delighted with us. I’ve found that just by doing what I’m passionate about makes my job much easier! I have 3 dogs, ranging from 10 to 75 pounds and always have one of them with me! When I’m not working, I clear my mind by hiking, traveling, exercising, reading, and binge watching Netflix.
