I started Bened Life in the US because I dreamed of building a world where all families can thrive. I am proud of my team and their dedication to support my vision.
Our Team
David Lee
Chief Operating Officer
Carletus Willis
Chief Growth Officer
I love to "get lost" in the adventure of non-fiction of new places and people, while observing all the differences and similarities.
Emily Dixon
Chief Marketing Officer
Tator Tot and Breezy. Guess which one is the dog and which one is the cat and which one actually likes tater tots and you win all the magical internet points!
Sunny Cash
Chief Community Officer
I'm the full-time friend maker around here. If I were to give anything to a friend, it would be a copy of Eric Garcia's book, "We Are Not Broken."
Noelle Patno
Chief Science Officer
It's important to me that we promote relevant and accurate scientific information. We work hard to prove, with evidence, that our probiotics can make a positive difference.
Ravinder Pal Singh
Director of IT & Project Management
I consider myself to be the Iron Man of Project Management (and everyone agrees).
Casey Arendt
Editor in Chief / Director of Science Communication
I work hard and play harder. Outside of work, you can catch me doing one of two things: consuming anything with chocolate OR training for my next triathlon.
Ryan Carroll
Retention Director
People who know me know I love to help others, and that's why I love it at Bened Life. Outside of work, I like to camp with my family and kick back with tacos.
Joe Hobbs
Influencer Marketing Director
Yes, I like pineapple on pizza. Yes I would like to be addressed as the Bened Life Professional Social Media Scroller. And yes, we can be friends!
Mary Guillebeau
Performance Creative Director
Come along with me on a bike ride along the river and we'll find the perfect picnic spot. I'm bringing Ginger Yuzu Water Kefir, what probiotics would you bring?
Jess Sanderson
Marketing Director
When I'm not making custom Slack emojis for the team, you can find me sipping on Honeydew Boba Milk Tea with Mango Jelly and slapping new tunes on my bass.
Michael Haddad
Finance Director
My happy place is playing a game of chess while tucked away under the shade of a tree in my family's olive grove.
De Waal Carstens
Operations Manager
I love to be reliable and solution-driven for others. When it's time to relax, there's nothing I love better than to spend time with my kiddos.
Lynda Yang
Human Resources Director
In first grade, I picked my own name. I came home from school one day and decided Lynda embodied who I was. And I've been Lynda ever since.
Daiz Bonbon
Customer Happiness Manager
Fun fact: I nicknamed my kiddo Yumi, which translates to beautiful friend in Japanese. She is my sun and daily reminder to embrace the warmth in life.
Roosevelt Sledge
Customer Happiness Specialist
By day, I am a Customer Happiness superhero. By night, I am the Connoisseur of French Fries. I wear these capes to deliver smiles across the globe.
LaToya Gay
Customer Happiness Specialist
When given the choice between fiction and non-fiction, I'm team fiction all day, everyday.
Rose Hughes
Neurodiversity and Disability Specialist
I say we all bring a dish from our countries, and belt out karaoke songs into the night! I know what I'd sing first, do you?
Isiaiah Tien Grewal
Neurodiversity and Disability Specialist
Disney World is my happy place. I've compiled an ultimate guide on how and why it can be one of the funnest Autistic travel destinations.
Melody Grewal
Neurodiversity and Disability Advocate
My goal is to promote and support nonspeakers around the world. Please check out the International Association for Spelling as Communication.
Steven Eury
Parkinson's Community Specialist
As a religious home-fermenter, I fit right in with the culture here at Bened Life. I make my own dairy kefir which I use in my ultra-energizing breakfast.
Allison Topperwein
Parkinson's Community Specialist
Along with my husband and work partner, I'm one of Bened's favorite shaky people! My goal is to light others from within.
Tiffany Joseph
Neurodiversity and Disability Advocate
I love how neurodivergent social media connects us to people with the same shared experiences and fills in gaps in understanding each other.
Aaliyah Drew
Senior Graphic Designer
My pets are lovingly named Lanky Panky and Old Man. They're my gaming buddies! Can you guess their species based off their names?
Audrey Yeh
Marketing Associate / Project Coordinator
I find solace in the simple pleasures of hiking through the forest, listening to trickling streams, smelling a smoky campfire, and waking up to chirping birds.
Kayla Peterson
Writer / Project Manager
For me, storytelling + the outdoors = life. I love working at Bened Life because I can write while enjoying my favorite natural spaces here in Austin.
James Eickel
Parnerships and Programs Manager
I've given my Corgi Bruce Wayne the nickname Brucifer, and I think he likes it better.
Colleen Cabedo
Technical Assistant
To me, food + music is the magic combo for bringing people together. I am always down to bond over Korean BBQ or a jam session.
Suraj Pandey
Website Developer
My two favorite foods are corn pizza and chole bhature. I would love to share them with you over a lunch break.
Syed Jeelani
Project Coordinator
I consider myself a foodie. If you want the cheat code to my heart, it's anything Indian, Turkish, or Italian.
Casey-Lee Flood
Writer
All brains deserve supportive acceptance! For me, probiotics greatly decreased harmful BFRB. My goal is to share these life-changing benefits with everyone.
