Meet the Team: Lauren Zalich

To be a leader in the software solutions industry, we need a team of the best and brightest behind the scenes. At Attivo, we are meticulous in our search for top talent – people with a passion for providing solutions and a customer-first mentality. We want to highlight some of the amazing members of our team to give you a glimpse into the inner workings of Attivo.

This week, we are highlighting team member Lauren Zalich, a SAP Business One Consultant. We spoke with Lauren about her background, her passions, and why she’s proud to be a member of the Attivo team.

Lauren, tell us a bit about your background.

Lauren: I grew up in a very small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania called Latrobe and now I live in Pittsburgh. Growing up my dad was always outnumbered with 3 daughters and my mom wanting to go shopping all the time. Now that we all live in different areas, you can find me on a family FaceTime call every night.

I will be graduating from Saint Vincent College in May with a BS in Marketing. During my time at Saint Vincent College, I completed a program where I learned how to use the SAP Business One ERP software. My professor at the time (Robert Markley), was a great mentor and really pushed me to succeed within the SAP Business One ecosystem. At the end of the program, I interviewed with Len Reo (Attivo President and Founder) and started working with the Attivo team in March 2020.

Why Attivo?

Lauren: I first started off as a marketing intern but as I began to work more and more with the SAP Business One ERP solution, I wanted to move over to the consulting side of Attivo. With my gained experience over the past year, I will officially be joining the Attivo team as a full-time consultant upon graduation in May 2021. The ability to choose what you want to do and to have a company that supports you in your endeavors is what I love about Attivo. The company culture is also amazing and reminds me of a big work family. At the end of the day, we are all there for each other and try to help one another wherever we can.

What’s the most rewarding part of your job?

Lauren: I love to problem solve and at Attivo I get to put my skills to the test. My work usually involves thinking outside of the box and coming up with streamlined solutions that makes the customers’ experience with SAP Business One a lot smoother compared to their old methods and system.

Tell us some fun facts about yourself!

Lauren:

I have a twin sister
I have 2 black labs, Bane and Rogan
I am the comedian of my family!
