Lifetime Achievement Award
Angela Gallo, Estée Lauder
Our winner was born in Montreal to her French Canadian mother and her father, an Italian immigrant. With no siblings, Angela’s friends became her family, and the importance she placed on relationships has continued to define her both personally and professionally.
In college, Angela’s plan was to become a lawyer, but fate would intervene when she started working at Hudson’s Bay part-time for a little extra money. Angela’s store manager offered her a Section Head position at just 21 years old. Soon, her dream of becoming a lawyer was replaced by her new passion for retail and customer service.
In 1989, Angela applied for an Account Executive Position with Aramis and just a couple of years later, Estée Lauder offered her the position of Account Executive. Throughout her career, Angela has met industry icons, including Estée Lauder, Lise Watier, Oscar de la Renta, and many more. In 2002, Angela was promoted to Regional Sales Director for Eastern Canada—and the rest is history.
