Good morning. Lauren Cooks Levitan first joined the unicorn Faire as its inaugural CFO and then was promoted to president. After six years at the company, Levitan is stepping down from her executive operator role to join Faire’s board of directors, effective July 1. She’s launching a startup where she’ll serve as CEO.
“We built a really durable business that I’m extremely proud of,” she told me about her executive tenure at the online wholesale marketplace. She played a pivotal role in Faire’s evolution from a newcomer startup to a global platform, raising more than $1 billion from top investors. But she’ll continue to be a part of Faire’s story as a board member.
