Please help us in welcoming to the team Lauren MacBlane! Lauren is our newest BEMO team member and will be joining us as our second Customer Success Manager. She will focus on creating stellar relationships with our customers, helping them create long-term plans and keeping them happy as clams. Lauren will work closely with Domonic and Carol.

A little about Lauren:

Lauren MacBlane

Lauren joins BEMO from Richmond, Virginia where she lives with her perfect pup, Eloise. "She's the perfect dog for me," she told the team in our Get to Know Lauren Virtual Water Cooler (which, as you can see, was pretty fun):

Eloise weighs in at a solid ten pounds, she doesn't shed and she loves to sit in Lauren's lap. She checked all the boxes.

In addition to her pooch, Lauren is also the mom of 19-year old twin daughters. Her favorite family tradition with them is to watch as they hang ornaments on the family Christmas tree.

Though she swears she's not a big risk-taker, Lauren has had some pretty adventurous outings! Her favorite? Off-piste skiing in Jackson Hole. Lauren is extremely easy to talk to and found herself befriending a local who showed her the "off the beaten track" skiing to be had. It's still her favorite memory and the craziest thing she's ever done. She's followed her love of the outdoors to cycling these days where she loves to spend some time alone on the road or riding with her boyfriend. She also loves hill climbing!

When she's not cycling all over Richmond, she's working on a written dialogue with one of her twins about life and values which we think sounds pretty cool. Lauren's favorite movie is "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Currently, she's watching "Gilmore Girls" and just finished reading The Martian by Andy Weir. 

Lauren has a lot of talents but her secret talent: making something from nothing. Even if there's seemingly nothing in the kitchen, she can somehow whip up a delicious meal. Speaking of which, when we asked her what her favorite meal was she responded: "Any meal that ends with a cheese cart full of unpasteurized cheese." Luckily for her, her favorite meal seems like one she'll have often on her Bucket List trip to France. Her ideal trip would involve her cycling during the day on a guide-led tour of the best roads in France and ending each evening at a fabulous restaurant (with lots of cheese). Here she is on top of Mt. Diablo in California:
