Lana Varnas (Aledort)

As I am building my page, please check in often for updates...

I am a Russian-born New Yorker....St.Petersburg was my birthplace and I emigrated to New York City when I was 12...such two different cities and cultures...but beautiful, vibrant, amazing centers of culture, business, education, art and architecture, etc. etc.....I am fortunate that I have experienced both and I love them both - my gorgeous city of birth and my amazing adopted hometown....

I am also fortunate to have been blessed with an amazing career that propelled me from my financial/accounting roots and education to achieve my dreams of working with beautiful wearable works of art - Jewelry and Watches. I spent nearly 22 years at Avon Products, building my career and advancing through the ranks. I fulfilled my dreams by leading the Jewelry and Watch Team as Director of Marketing, Merchandising, and Design...I then expanded my Beauty knowledge by leading the Marketing and Merchandising Teams of Color and Skincare..Finally, the circle was closed when I became head of Marketing for all Fashion and Home at Avon...My time spent at Avon was truly unforgettable and I am grateful to all my colleagues, partners, teams, and mentors, who taught me and supported me....

Now, I am embarking on a new and exciting journey in the world outside of Avon...Who knows what adventures await??? There are so many paths to follow, roads to take...people to meet and old friends and colleagues to reconnect with...

Personally, I have been blessed with an amazing daughter who challenges me everyday...as most 10-year old are apt to do...and who one day hopes to inherit Mommy's amazing collection of fashion jewelry :)

I find beauty and inspiration everywhere I go - my interests are diverse - skiing, cycling, gardening, travel, music (from opera to heavy metal and everything in between)....
