Laurence Lewin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laurence Lewin (b.??) is a savvy numbers man who is known for adding flare and style to every balance sheet. Laurence was born in the UK. Early in his career, he was removed from medical school and began a career in the computer industry. But in the swinging ‘70s, he immigrated to Montreal, a European-style city and eventually set his eyes on the fashion industry.
In 1990, Laurence co-founded La Senza, a chain of stylish and hip lingerie stores. Today, women around the world, from Canada to Australia, slip into La Senza's stylish bras, panties and chemises. Aside from the silk and glamour, Laurence is at the helm of a serious business empire. La Senza now has 630 stores in 29 countries worldwide that enjoy sales revenues of over $400 million in Canada alone.
When he is not dealing in lingerie, Laurence relaxes by sailing or roaring his antique fire engine through the countryside to let off some steam.
Laurence is one of the Dragons on the popular Canadian version of the television show Dragon's Den which airs on CBC Television and CBC Newsworld.
