Carving a name for himself in the snowboarding community, pro snowboarder Forest Shearer is
known not only for his super fast and clean moves, but also for the great brand ambassador he has become for his sponsors. Residing in Salt

Forest is a huge fan of Sambazon, especially the new juice. " Acai is rocketfuel!
It allows my friends and me to push the progression of snowboarding." We are stoked to have such an incredible athlete and all around great guy

Employee Profile: Deb MacKinnon
Deb serves as an
essential backbone to our sales team. As inside sales manager, she works
directly with our Sales Directors and helps support all sales managers
and representatives in the field, bringing a great sense of urgency,
dedication
and professionalism to all that she does. On her first day
of work she dubbed herself "team mom" - and she's been living up to
it
ever
since! Prior to Sambazon, Deb's background was the arts where she
was marketing director for an opera company, audience appreciation for
symphony orchestra and ballet companies as well as a music
teacher! We've witnessed Deb's musical talents at work when
she wrote and sang
a beautiful lullaby for a new Sambazon baby at the end of a sales call
and some stellar karaoke performances during Sambazon "Girls Night Out"
outings! Deb enjoys new experiences, people, travels and
appreciating beauty in all its forms. She tells us her favorite
part about
working at Sambazon is the people, our mission - and the
açaí! We're so glad to have Deb as part of our Sambazon
family!
