Lauren Blass started working in commercial real estate after a 15-year career in commerce marketing. The Bentonville native took a sabbatical for more than a year after serving as senior vice president at VML, leading the commerce marketing business for The Coca-Cola Co. in North America. A mother of three children, she wanted a break from the travel requirements and the long work hours.
