Craig Dowden , PhD / 04 , MA / 98

Dowden believes it is important to love what you do and be authentic in its delivery. “Don’t be shy about sharing who you are!” he says. It’s an approach that serves him well in leading a company specializing in selection support, professional development and transition support services. In his first year with Filion, Dowden increased the profile of the Ottawa office and led it to its most successful year in its 15-year history.

Dowden was named one of Ottawa’s Top Forty under 40 by the Ottawa Business Journal in 2009.
