Hi there, I’m Allison Lane. I’m a mom, wife and PR rep who survives on Caramel Macchiatos, sweet tea and a splash of pino grigio. I represent SAS to the media, mainly regarding Corporate Social Responsibility and workplace culture, and manage corporate awards like the US application to Great Place to Work. I’m lucky because, most of the time, I’m sharing good news and spotlighting real employee experiences. Before joining SAS, I worked at Quaker Oats, Unilever, Burt’s Bees and The Body Shop – building awareness for products from Cap’n Crunch to AXE Deodorant Bodyspray, and representing them to the media during crises like food tampering and inhalant abuse. I take pride in becoming the company archivist, wherever I work. (Cap’n Crunch’s middle name is Horatio, btw.) I graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1993 with a B.A. in Journalism. Go Terps! If I wasn’t doing this, I’d be running an art gallery or on a horse, herding cattle in Montana. For now, I’m tickled pink to call SAS home.
