Lara Smith is the Founder and CEO of Lusomé, a sleep-tech company focused on solving night sweats and temperature-related sleep disruption experienced by millions of women, particularly during menopause. She began her career at Gucci and Ralph Lauren and went on to spend more than 25 years in large retail corporations, specializing in women’s innovation and apparel.
She founded Lusomé after witnessing her sister struggle with severe night sweats during breast cancer treatment and realizing there were no science-informed, proven solutions available. Lara is also the host of The Sweaty Pillow podcast, a platform dedicated to advancing the conversation around women’s sleep and midlife health.
