Member Feature | Ben Emerson
Ben has joined the Mâché crew as our newest Dedicated Desk member! He’s the founder of klara, a business bridging the gap between people and technology. While klara helps businesses become more efficient and productive now, the long-term vision is to develop software that empowers businesses in exciting ways. Wondering about the name? "The inside joke is that it’s the daughter I never had!" Ben explains.
Outside work, Ben stays busy raising three energetic young boys with his wife, Ciara. Together, they enjoy hiking, beach trips, and anything that helps burn off the kids’ boundless energy.
For his own recharge, Ben turns to boxing: a perfect mix of fitness, stress relief, and mental grit. Don’t worry, though, he won’t throw punches if you say hi; you’ll get a big smile and a friendly chat instead!
Ben is also starting two new Substacks, give them a check
Short Stories, High Hopes – Ben's weekly personal blog with stories from fatherhood, and reflections on life.
Klara: Business Anatomy – Ben's weekly business blog documenting the ups and downs of his business journey as it unfolds, sharing insights, tactics and lessons.
Welcome to Mâché, Ben! We’re excited to see how klara grows and to have you as part of our community.
What's the best thing about Mâché so far?
I love chatting with others at a similar point in their busy journey and getting tips and ideas. I appreciate the effort Natalia and Dans go to to bring us all together with Friday drinks and other social events. It means the place is not sterile and has a really good, homely vibe!
Favourite movie?
The Departed is my all-time favourite movie. I believe every moment in life has a relevant quote from that movie.
Favourite holiday spot?
The beach, especially the far south coast of NSW, e.g. Bermagui and Tathra.
Go-to comfort food?
Vanilla ice-cream. My theory is because it's quite a bland flavour, it's a real test of how good the ice cream actually is. Same applies to Margherita pizza and long blacks.
One thing you absolutely can't live without?
Exercise.
Favourite band?
Radiohead.
Perfect day out in Adelaide?
Last year for my birthday, my brother flew into Adelaide as a surprise – he and my wife had planned the perfect day for me! So that makes answering this question easy. We did boxing in the morning followed by brunch. Then we did a high ropes course, followed by a movie at the cinema with popcorn and ice cream, then Greek dinner (lamb shoulder) and red wine.
Member Ft. (Cutest) Bonus | Welcome to this world, Eloise!
Say hello to Mâché’s newest (and cutest!) member: Eloise Daphne Hadaj
Our member Luke and his wife Kelly welcomed baby Eloise on November 29th, and we couldn’t be happier! We think she might have some big coworking ideas brewing… or maybe just nap plans for now.
Congrats, Luke and Kelly! Your Mâché fam is so excited for you. Eloise is absolutely gorgeous and already bringing smiles to our community.
