If you ask Laura Lachell about her best day as a Plug employee, she\u2019ll tell you about the first purchase order she completed. Lachell, who joined Plug in June 2014, said her first fuel cell purchase order was \u201conly\u201d a couple units, but it was a highlight for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI printed out the PO and hung it proudly in my cubicle,\u201d Lachell said. \u201cIt is humbling to look back on that moment now that I\u2019ve added a new customer, expanded existing fleets, and converted sites to Plug hydrogen infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Lachell is the Senior Manager for Key Accounts where she works with new and existing customers to analyze business cases and manage commercial programs, focused on material handling and pedestal accounts. She has worn several different hats since joining Plug more than eight years ago, but still ends the day knowing the impact she made in each customer\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cI am most excited when my customers\u2019 operations are improved by hydrogen and fuel cells,\u201d Lachell said. \u201cThey are moving more products, making sustainable choices for their businesses, and operating more efficiently. When my customers say things like \u2018I made the right decision partnering with Plug,\u2019 it makes me proud to work in this industry and for Plug.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from helping customers decarbonize their operations while saving money, Lachell said she enjoys working for Plug because of the entrepreneurial spirit the team shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Plug encourages creative thinking and solutions,\u201d she said. \u201cIn a customer facing role, I am frequently tasked with finding creative win-win solutions. As a manager of the pedestal account team, we have a roundtable meeting every Monday to share best practices and brainstorm on how we can improve our processes and customer relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
