Dominique #MakesADifference   Meet Dominique Futterer, the globetrotting #marketing specialist who started out in Stuttgart, Germany, as Marketing Manager for the Europe and Middle East region before moving to Vienna, Austria, to take on the role of Team Manager in Global Marketing. Navigating the complexities of a global audience can be daunting, but not for Dominique. Her #passion for travel, cultures and exploration isn't just for fun - it's her superpower. It broadens her perspective and strengthens her ability to connect with different regions within the company. It's often the little things that brighten our days, isn't it? And Dominique tells us that these small joys, like learning a new word or tasting a dish for the first time on a trip, can not only spark us joy, but also help us understand and feel more connected to other cultures.

I am excited to be in Paris at the St Denis office, 2 weeks after starting my new role as Head of Region for Europe. Today, I had the opportunity to present my plan for elevating Europe to the next level. While I can't share all the details, I want to highlight three key points: One Team: Internally, we all need each other, from sales to delivery to legal to finance to HR, etc. Together we can ensure a seamless and efficient experience for our customers. Customer First: Every action we take should prioritize the needs of our customers, ensuring that our actions enhance their satisfaction and loyalty Focus: By clearly defining our priorities, we can streamline our efforts, reducing internal distractions and delivering exceptional value in the initiatives that matter most to our customers.

Behind the Glamour: The Story You Didn’t See at the Bambi Awards The Bambi Awards are a cornerstone of German culture, celebrating excellence in media and entertainment. This year, Blacklane had the honor of being a sponsor, and it was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our brand on such a prestigious stage. It was incredible to see the city of Munich alive with sleek Blacklane vehicles and our smart, elegant chauffeurs, ensuring every guest arrived in style and comfort. This visual presence was not just Blacklane providing “transportation” "from A to B"; it was a statement about the quality and professionalism that we as Blacklane bring to every journey. 🖤 What makes Blacklane “events” (such as Bambi) truly special for me is the teamwork behind it. In a matter of weeks, multiple departments came together to pull off a seamless experience: For example, Market Management ensured smooth operations, our Executive Assistant managed countless logistics, Marketing brought the vision to life, Customer Care and the VIP Desk provided exceptional support, etc… Each piece of the puzzle fit perfectly, highlighting the power of cross-functional collaboration. And the guests? We had the privilege of serving icons like Margot Friedländer Stiftung, #TonyKroos, #LarsEidinger, and #JellaHaase. Knowing that our team played a part in making their evening as smooth and elegant as possible was incredibly rewarding. It was also a proud moment to have four of our team members, Caroline Gomes, Melanie Catling, Greta C. and Vanessa Pimenta Costa, join C-level Dr. Jens Wohltorf, Ebony Simone Morczinek and myself + our partners at the gala. They’re usually behind the scenes, but this time, they got to witness the impact of their work firsthand. Moments like these are invaluable for recognising the dedication and talent of our teams. The inspiration didn’t stop there. Last week I joined the Marketing Coffee Chat and received a “post-event” update: Diving into the results and hearing about the impact of our strategies and execution reaffirmed how much we can achieve together! Thank you Blacklane! 😍 Some images attached to give you further insights, and yes it was my 1st Red Carpet walk and photoshoot (!) which was a whole other experience than fulfilling the Chief People Officer role! #BambiAwards #Teamwork #People #ProudMoment #Recognition

a highlight of the last several months for our People team ✨ Chloe Hudson Rebecca Neal 👏 We create engagement of our globally distributed, remote team by enabling frequent re-connection in our headquarters. Our offices in Brussels are an alive, beating heart of the company. To do that sustainably, over time and at scale, we need cost optimisation - but not at the expense of the comfort of our Rockers. That is how we arrived at the concept of "Keyrock Maison" - a serviced townhouse where everyone has comfortable personal space but where our team members can create connections in thoughtfully designed shared spaces while they visit. At 50% cost compared to hotels or airbnbs 💸 Curious to know what other distributed companies do to keep their teams "together" and aligned 💡
