Robert Ludlow is the mad genius behind Fleurir Chocolates- not mad as in angry, but mad as in wildly creative and remarkably disorganized. After graduating valedictorian with Le Grand Diplome from Le Cordon Bleu in Sydney, Australia, Robert followed his heart to central Virginia to be with his one true love- the most intelligent, beautiful, charming, and charismatic woman in the world, Ashley Hubbard, during her final year in college (it sounds like he wrote it thus far, right?). And after spending a couple of years as a cuisine chef, Robert was ready for better hours and a stable work environment. Consequently, Robert found a job at one of the best artisan chocolate shops in the nation, Gearhart's Fine Chocolates, where he mastered his craft under the guidance of Tim Gearhart. After a peculiar stint in Charleston, SC, Robert and his now almost wife headed to DC (well, we technically live in Arlington... the dogs need a backyard) to make the finest gosh darn artisan chocolates not only in DC, but in THE WORLD!
Ashley Hubbard is a Jill of all trades at Fleurir Chocolates (excepting anything related to financing... as a recent college graduate she has no money to invest, but if she did, she would put it all in Fleurir Chocolates because they are that awesome). With her degree in Political Science and Women's Studies from Washington and Lee University, she is the spot on, most qualified, perfect fit for marketing, managing the kitchen, making chocolates, and maintaining the general day to day goings on at Fleurir. She is open to any and all suggestions or thoughts on marketing (how do I get Fleurir on Oprah?), how amazing our chocolates are (how well do we put the 'fine' in 'fine chocolates'?), or what her novel should be about (I'll even settle for a genre).
Steve Ludlow. As CEO and financier of Fleurir Chocolates, Steve Ludlow can make a mean line graph. As the business savvy member of the group, he is part Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid and part Bill Gates from real life- Fleurir Chocolates would be nowhere without him.
As CFO of Fleurir Chocolates, Janet Ludlow has mastered the art of Virginia and DC tax code. She also writes our checks, which makes her not only the most important member of the team, but also the coolest cat around and my personal favorite person ever.
