Having lived and worked in Asia, Europe and the United States, Laura’s experience as a global businesswoman propelled her career trajectory. Laura is a retail executive with a strong creative bent - bringing over 30 years of experience to the business of fashion and retail consumer goods. She left her last corporate role as President of Accessories for Polo Ralph Lauren to help small to mid-market retail consumer goods brands at the intersection of profit and purpose. And in 2018, Laura – along with two other female C-Suite executives – founded WHYZ Partners. A primary mission at WHYZ is to engage and empower the next generation of consumer goods business leaders – under the purpose of promoting the ideals of financially and socially responsible business practices. Laura is active in the industry as a speaker, advisor and thought leader. Laura is also the author of a children’s book ‘The ABCs of Conscious Capitalism for KIDS’ because she believes that “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
