Bio
Sandra Campos
Being a merchant in women’s fashion these days requires a tremendous amount of skills from analytical to competitive and consumer research to a solid understanding of product and trends in the marketplace. I have had the pleasure of working with Lauren and seeing her incredible depth, her innate mentoring and leadership, and her strong partnership and collaboration with her cross functional team members. Her calm and professional demeanor only slightly masks her drive and willingness to do what it takes in order to succeed. Lauren understands the consumer, and she knows what they want before they want it. She’s a pleasure to work with.

Lauren has an incredible innate talent for buying - she understands how to create a strong cohesive line that successfully drives the business. Lauren is by far one of the best cross functional team members I have worked with: she is open to hearing suggestions, she is able to flex with any situation and she partners & communicates with all her team members creating an open fun culture. She is thoughtful in her approach to every line she builds and every project she leads. I have watched her mentor her team with passion and care focusing on building talent.
