About Us

Emily Fabiano understands how to motivate and mobilize people to accomplish common and important goals. I have had the pleasure of working with Emily during her entire tenure with the Governor's Office of Workforce Transformation (OWT).

As a member of the Governor's Executive Workforce Board, I am deeply impressed with Emily's abilities: She is smart, strategic, responsive, organized and knows how to connect the dots in planning and implementing statewide initiatives.

Most importantly, Emily is a pleasure to work with because of her commitment and capabilities.

Emily is a talented strategist and savvy leader! I had the privilege of getting to know her while serving as Director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. She was a critical partner for the agency in advancing workforce and human service initiatives designed to promote economic self-sufficiency and strengthen communities. She has the rare ability to drive results while maintaining grace and authenticity. Emily will be an asset to any organization that needs effective and thoughtful leadership!

Hands down one of the brightest, most knowledgeable and effective workforce leaders in the entire State of Ohio! I have been blessed to work closely with Emily for more than two years.

From innovative new strategies to align Ohio workforce programs with jobs of the future, to ability to deliver projects for principals on time in a way that makes all stakeholders look good, Emily is the complete package.

I can count on one hand the people I know who are as well rounded, likable, thoughtful and professional as Emily. In every measure, a leader should be judged by the people she has hired, mentored and graduated to their next great challenge. In this respect, Emily is building her own legacy of talent populating every blue chip organization across the state.

Emily was an outstanding addition to the Governor's Office of Workforce Transformation. We were excited to hire Emily right after she graduated from college as she brought a fresh, new perspective to our team and specifically our communications and outreach efforts.

Over time, Emily's role expanded and she easily took on new and larger projects for our team. Her positive attitude, ability to contribute and lead teams were essential assets to our lean team. I highly recommend Emily Fabiano.

Emily is nothing short of incredible. Her personal and professional drive for excellence is unmatched. Emily has an eye for detail and the unique ability to take very complex problems or issues and solve them with realistic, simple solutions. Emily has grown her project management skills such that she has the ability to see a clear path and direction for any project she is given or dreams up. She utilizes all of her resources to find answers to questions she may not immediately know, and fosters relationships with those she works with.

Emily would be an excellent addition to any team, and lead any work as a transformational leader. I have leaned on Emily many times in our work together for her candid, spot on instincts and have been personally inspired to take action on seemingly hopeless items because of her strong, confident example. Emily Fabiano makes the world better and has an extremely bright career ahead of her.

I had the pleasure of working with Emily on Ohio's inaugural In-Demand Jobs Week. She provided expert leadership, planning and coordination among several state agencies to promote the event. Because of her direction, ability to marshal disparate resources and inspire team members, many Ohioans were exposed to the IDJW concept through multiple earned media spots across the state.

Emily excels at identifying emerging issues, solutions, and implementation strategies, which even the best public and private sector teams need. I brought Emily on to be the staff lead at the Office of Workforce Transformation when I was Chief of Staff for the Lt. Governor. Emily quickly became known and respected for her ability to lead diverse teams and deliver results. Thanks to Emily and her team, we exceeded our goal of funding 10,000 credentials for Ohioans in the first year of our priority program, TechCred. Emily is a champion for any organization that wants to invest in their people and build a workforce for the future.
