Our people
Harmony originates from a joyful attitude
The people who make up Beelineweb.com embody this idea. We believe our success is tied to our positive spirit and the care we demonstrate to our clients and with each other.
Lauren Gaglardi - President
One of the founders of Beelineweb.com, she's so much more to us than just the queen bee. This lively-but-endearing trailblazer has been doing search since last century. As she works behind the scenes to make sure everything happens for our clients, she also demonstrates her authentic commitment to meaningful social and environmental change. Her vibrant compassion extends to everyone on our team as she aims to assemble a remarkable group that practices and benefits from integrity. With her kind, honest and dependable leadership, we're instilled with the mindfulness, motivation and resources to do well by doing good. We just wish we could fully reciprocate everything she provides with the same level of consideration - but we might have to settle for making her a dozen vegan cupcakes instead.
Ched Gaglardi - CEO
We love this guy; he really pays attention to "the Enterprise." But although he's a big fan of science fiction-and a visionary in his own right - he keeps his feet firmly on the ground. As one of the founders of Beelineweb.com, his cordial, down-to-earth approach to business helps set the tone for the office. His accomplished background in finance, marketing and other successful ventures ensures our ability to create and maintain tremendous value for our clients. And he stays involved in our community, volunteering his time and knowledge to promote local economic development. Along with his uncanny ability to see the big picture, his steady temperament inspires trust and confidence, no matter the circumstances. However, we're afraid he might someday want to turn our office into the set of Battlestar Galactica - that's where we draw the line.
Amy Gaglardi - Business Development
To say she's outgoing would be the understatement of the decade. If you attend conferences to get help growing your business, chances are good you two have met. This charming go-getter loves to travel. But don't let her outward exuberance fool you. Behind that beaming smile is an educated marketing aficionado who genuinely cares about helping special companies improve their bottom lines. In fact, when it comes to search engine marketing, she's an ace - raised on the stuff early on and a part of our team from the beginning. Just watch out: her laughter is infectious, and she likes to eye other people's food.
Ashley Hopper - Marketing Assistant
She's a natural, but someone this elegant would be. As one of the newer members to join us, her sincerity and grace has made a quick impact. Her calming, soft-spoken presence is balanced by her intuitive comprehension and genuine interest in online search marketing. She's proven to be very nimble, amazing us with her unobtrusive determination to do work of distinction. We're just curious about how she got to be so tall - probably a result of aiming high (or reaching for the cookie jar).
Chris Gaglardi - Search Strategist
He's our office comedian - often funnier than a die-hard vegetarian that takes professional-quality photos of little old ladies on electric scooters in hamburger drive-thrus. He's never far from the perfect wisecrack or playful prank. But the same mind that is responsible for catching us off-guard with well-timed witticisms is also what makes him so astute at planning and monitoring online marketing tactics that produce abundant results for our clients. Like his siblings, he was brought up on search and has been with us from the beginning. He's a whiz at HTML and form building; he's a pay-per-click guru; and he's always expanding his knowledge of organic search. He's even our official photographer of office potlucks and work events. But if you see him around, you might want to hide your jellybeans.
Doug Wilson - Manager of Software Development
He's our master of the impossible; our wizard of programming; or our miracle man of command logic. Something like that. Truth is, what he does in that upper-level fortress is a bit of a mystery to us. We just know that he makes everything work. Apparently, he's been crafting code since he was a sprightly 11-year-old. But based on the esoteric wisdom he imparts, along with his gift as a computer whisperer, we believe he must have started several lifetimes ago. He answers our most absurd coding questions and requests with the coolness of a techno-deity: "yeah…I think I can do that." In fact, he seems so all-knowing that we just hope we aren't really part of his own virtual matrix. Where's that blue pill?
Jennifer Johnston - Search Strategist
All indications point to one conclusion: she leads a (poorly-kept) secret life as a superhero. She's just too modest to admit it. How else to explain the ease with which she's able to take on any task we throw her way? Or the courage and friendly attitude she always demonstrates - even in the face of adversity? There simply has to be more to her than a gifted passion for search marketing. How can anyone love to learn and take on new challenges that much? How can she be so good at making yummy sushi? She may never fess up. But at least we're pretty sure we know her weakness should we ever need to slow her down. The girl needs her coffee! So... maybe she's really just a regular person... Nah.
Jessie Christie - Senior Copywriter
She's our fleet-fingered "writing ninja." With her background in journalism and a double black belt in dashing off kick-butt copy that the search engines and our site visitors love, she's a master persuader. Her stealthy behavior can make her difficult to spot, especially since we never know if she's riding in on supersonic horseback or deceptively swift Smart Car. But if you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse, you'll be in awe of her quiet precision. In her quest to get results, this wily wordsmith takes no prisoners - though we do hope she pauses for a breather once in a while.
Laura Gaglardi - Project Manager
We call her "Eagle Eye Laura"-but not because she looks funny. Rather, as the cheerful person that manages all of our client updates, she displays the kind of boundless energy, unwavering composure and finely-calibrated attention to detail that ensures things get done right. Maybe that's due to how she was raised. We like to say she's been weaned on search - nourished with the passion for search engine marketing since she was 10 years old. That's given her the poise and soaring enthusiasm to provide high-level quality assurance for our clients. But don't worry; she's only a predator when we need her to be.
Luke Redd - Director of Creative Content
Watch out for the quiet ones. He's so hushed; we hardly ever know what he's thinking. His low-key, even-tempered appearance cloaks a wicked sense of humor that only reveals itself in his work. But we're frequently bowled over by the impressive results of whatever mental gymnastics his mind plays host to. While we initially hired him for his wonderful writing abilities, we were thrilled to find out that he's also an extraordinary graphic designer - he has wowed us. His diverse background allows him to step up to a variety of assignments. We've even been pleasantly surprised to discover - via our office potlucks - that he can cook delicious food. But although he's friendly, his silent, intense focus can be a little creepy; we can't help wondering if we should keep him out of the kitchen - we have knives in there!
Maizal Munif - Web Applications Developer
Strangely, he's always smiling. Is it a bona fide grin, or a suggestive smirk hinting that he knows something we don't? We're inclined to believe it's the former, but the fact that he keeps company with our other resident programming wizard makes us a bit uncertain. Can we trust that he's really just a happy guy, or is he caught in some kind of spell that develops from being part of the hypnotic domain of code creation? Whatever it is, we're happy that he's joined us. Not only does he bring an extensive background in software development and search, but he's also been a great surprise addition to our "Speedy Bees" running team. Still, with his ever-present demeanor of friendliness, we'd really like to know his secret - it must be something juicy!
Tessa Derksen - Copywriter
We didn't think writers were supposed to be this chummy. She's one of the newest additions to our team, but it took her no time at all to demonstrate her sociable goodwill and eagerness to produce copy that search engines and site visitors will relish. After a long time away from BC, she's come back to the beautiful Okanagan Valley. We're not sure why she ever left, but we're very glad she returned. With a background in communications, she definitely likes to convey and exchange ideas. We'll just have to get used to working alongside an upbeat writer with a healthy thirst for jovial conversation - not such a bad thing.
Deb Stanley - Personal Trainer (Honorary Team Member)
How does she do that (count to 20 while listening to us gab and demonstrating an impossible sit-up that features two different-sized balls)? Nothing gets past her - she "motivates" us to do ALL of our repetitions. Though not officially staff, she's been a big part of the Beelineweb.com team for more than four years. We can always tell who she's recently whipped into shape by the "dammit Debs," groans and zombie-walkers circulating about the office. It's a good thing she makes us laugh with her diverting sense of humor - though we suspect it's just a sneaky way to work our abs. Still, without her individually designed exercise programs and masterful encouragement, we might never discover just how much we can accomplish. She's got her own company - New Attitude Personal Training (www.newattitudepersonaltraining.com). Just remember: we warned you!
Trixi - Director of Office Security
She's like our little Ewok warrior princess. When she isn't busy "detaining" the office's sun spots, she can be found stealing a nap under Laura's desk or "cleaning" the kitchen floor.
