Meet Laure Mahe, our GM-mom-of-two-LinkedIn-chef

Laure Mahe has a passion for food and a love of global cuisines – from French to Asian to American, and everything in between. And she brings that passion to work as General Manager for Mars Food & Nutrition in France, responsible for helping make delicious, healthier eating part of consumers’ daily lives.

As a busy working mom of two pre-schoolers, quick and simple meal prep is a big focus for Laure on the home front. At the start of the year, Laure made a resolution to adopt a healthier lifestyle for the whole family, using products like Ben’s Original rice and SuziWan noodles – great shortcuts to creating quick and healthy meals. And she came up with innovative but simple, time-efficient recipes that cater to the needs of working parents and, of course, anyone who wants healthy, delicious, convenient food.

To hold herself accountable for delivering her resolution, she began sharing her recipes on LinkedIn, turning it into a hub for culinary creativity and sharing it with friends. Laure’s LinkedIn posts have not only helped her adopt a healthier lifestyle, but have also inspired others to do the same.
