Laura Bojanowski
Director of Business Development @ Algenist
About
I am a senior sales and business development leader with a proven record of driving double-digit growth across multi-channel retail, e-commerce, and global brand partnerships. Throughout my career, I have scaled specialty retail and skincare brands domestically and internationally, combining strategic vision with operational expertise to deliver measurable results. I specialize in defining the “what, where, who, and why” of go-to-market strategy while executing the detailed initiatives required to bring it to life. From high-profile campaigns and key account management to new store launches and coordinating hundreds of operational details across digital, brick-and-mortar, and mobile channels, I thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution. Known for my resourcefulness, I am equally comfortable working independently or leading cross-functional teams to exceed growth and revenue objectives. At Algenist, I drove the brand’s highest direct-to-consumer revenue, launched Amazon with zero paid ads, and grew QVC and TVSN sales by 40% YOY. I managed top-tier retail partnerships, subscription services, and end-to-end channels, ensuring flawless execution from offer creation to operational delivery. I bring a combination of strategic foresight, operational rigor, and relentless execution. Whether setting a brand’s sales strategy or managing end-to-end execution, I am committed to translating vision into sustainable growth, strengthening brand equity, and enduring competitive advantage.
