Sana Hashmi

Vice President

The inventive and creative nature of the programs FirstLine Benefits offers gives Sana the opportunity to work with clients who are excited to try something different. She leans into and builds upon these relationships finding new ways to help better lives in the process. Relationships are a major part of every aspect of her life. Her family spans cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. An early riser, she enjoys the solitary quiet of her daily morning run followed by a peaceful yoga session.

Alison Edgar

Senior Project Manager, Digital

For Alison, emerging trends and changing technology represent an opportunity to improve the lives of our members. She’s inspired by the joy and confidence even the simplest tools can bring to their daily choices. Pulling together and guiding talent from across FirstLine Benefits departments and partner teams, she plays a major role in shaping the member experience. When she’s able to pull herself away from her work, she strikes out with her family and dog to camp, hike, and capture the beauty of nature across the country.
