Bio
Andrew Gelles
I had the pleasure of managing Lauren while she was at BMC USA. Lauren was an extremely quick study in learning the existing processes in place, and was instrumental in implementing improvements where needed. Lauren is an extremely organized person and very passionate about her job and the industry we worked in. She formed meaningful relationships within the company as well as with our dealer network, which helped the perception of our company as a whole, as well as our bottom line. Lauren would be an excellent addition to any staff. -Andrew Gelles
