As an undergrad at Carnegie Mellon University, JoAnna was fascinated with understanding the intersection of human behavior and quantitative analysis, and that passion led her through careers within finance, fashion, and tech before she decided to create Revelle. Her time at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business taught her how innovation often sits at the intersection of multiple industries, and how uniquely positioned she was to build Revelle for women everywhere. JoAnna’s goal is to reshape the future of retail with Revelle, by putting women’s needs at the forefront of the conversation. She is creating a new way for women to shop online that she hopes will help them feel more beautiful in their bodies every day.
