# Welcome Lauren Ghizzoni: Bringing Healthcare Expertise to Dallas
We're excited to introduce Lauren Ghizzoni, our newest Sales Executive joining the Tangram Dallas team. With her specialized focus on healthcare accounts and proven track record in commercial furniture sales, Lauren brings valuable expertise to the rapidly growing DFW market.
## From Massachusetts to Texas: Lauren's Journey
Lauren's path to Tangram began in Danvers, Massachusetts, where she first discovered her passion for commercial sales. Her career started in technology as a Product Marketing Manager before transitioning to furniture sales at Staples, where she served as a Territory Account Executive specializing in healthcare accounts.
Now based in McKinney, Texas, Lauren is ready to apply her healthcare industry knowledge to help Tangram expand its presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.
## Healthcare Focus: A Strategic Advantage
The healthcare sector presents unique design challenges that require specialized understanding of regulatory requirements, infection control protocols, and patient experience considerations. Lauren's background working specifically with healthcare accounts positions her to:
- Navigate complex procurement processes common in medical facilities - Understand the specific furniture and design needs of hospitals, clinics, and medical offices - Build relationships with healthcare facility managers and decision-makers - Provide solutions that meet both functional and regulatory requirements
## Leadership Influences and Work Philosophy
When asked about her professional influences, Lauren credits her previous manager, Brent Hovis, for shaping her approach to client relationships and sales strategy. This mentorship has clearly contributed to her success in the competitive commercial furniture market.
Her favorite motivational anthem? "One Step at a Time" by Jordin Sparks—a fitting philosophy for building lasting client relationships and tackling complex commercial projects.
## Personal Passions: Italian Inspiration
Beyond the office, Lauren's appreciation for Italian culture runs deep. Whether she's savoring a quality Italian red wine or planning her next trip to Florence, Italy, her love for craftsmanship and attention to detail—hallmarks of Italian design—align perfectly with Tangram's commitment to excellence.
Her style preferences also reflect a keen eye for quality, from David Yurman jewelry to Lilly Pulitzer's timeless patterns.
## Looking Ahead: Big Plans for DFW
Lauren's primary goal is clear: help Tangram make a significant impact in the Dallas-Fort Worth market while bringing innovative projects to life. Her enthusiasm for the role and deep understanding of healthcare facility needs position the Dallas team for continued growth.
"I'm most looking forward to helping Tangram make a big splash in the DFW market and bringing in new and exciting projects," Lauren shares.
## The Healthcare Design Opportunity
With healthcare construction and renovation projects continuing to surge across Texas, Lauren's timing couldn't be better. The DFW metroplex, in particular, has seen substantial growth in medical facilities, from major hospital expansions to specialized outpatient centers.
Her expertise will be invaluable as Tangram works with healthcare clients who need furniture solutions that balance durability, cleanability, comfort, and compliance with industry standards.
