Maybe not all at once. But you can have it all!

Can we have it all? What does it really take? There’s no better person to answer those questions than Linda LoRe, President and CEO of Frederick’s of Hollywood.

Everyday, women struggle with balancing career, family and a desire to grow as individuals. Ms. LoRe will reveal how to effectively balance a rewarding career with personal and family life. In her own successful career, LoRe has launched some of the top retail brands at Giorgio Beverly Hills. Her remarkable resurrection of Frederick’s of Hollywood from Chapter 11 to major competitor in the fashion industry has garnered much attention and praise. LoRe also serves on Boards of Directors for many leading academic, industry and charity organizations. She is married with two young children, and enjoys traveling and worldwide adventures.
