Laura Ravo

A native New Yorker, Laura Ravo is a retail guru, whose talents and charisma have developed some of the highest performing teams in global retail. Her scrappy determination and endless curiosity have been the cornerstone of her success for nearly 30 years.

Laura embarked on her “accidental” career in college when she began her retail career as a part-time night associate in ladies lingerie. As her journey continued, she worked her way up through the store ranks in department stores and specialty retail. She advanced as a leader with some of the greatest brands in the business—Macy’s, L Brands, LensCrafters, Oakley, The Body Shop, and The Strand. Each brand left a mark on her heart, and she left each brand better than she found it.

Laura is a sought-after mentor, speaker and industry expert. Her mantra is that in order to lead with authenticity and purpose in today’s complex world, you must bring your whole self to your job and your team.
