Lauren Chan is a size inclusion advocate who began her career as a plus-size model alongside women like Ashley Graham and Precious Lee at New York City's Ford Models. When she wasn’t working with clients like Vera Wang or Christian Siriano, Chan also worked as a fashion writer, having work published at institutions like Vogue, Interview, and the New York Times' T Magazine. She later landed at Glamour as the fashion features editor, where she oversaw the fashion news team, covered the womenswear market, and personally owned the plus-size fashion beat. Chan's feats during that time include a print column and digital vertical on size inclusion, designing the Glamour x Lane Bryant clothing collection, appearances on Good Morning America and the Today Show, and speaking at events put on by organizations spanning from Instagram and the Wing to the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Most recently, Chan started Henning, a brand of ethical luxury womenswear for women size 12 and up. In their exclusive launch coverage, Vogue said, "[Chan] addressed the complexities of fashion’s relationship with size early on in her career, and now her contemporary womenswear brand, Henning, is taking things one step further." Other fanfare for Henning can be seen in the New York Times, Forbes, Business of Fashion, WWD, Elle, InStyle, the Cut, and more. For her work as a journalist, entrepreneur, and size inclusion activist, Chan is the recipient of honors and awards from the American Society of Magazine Editors, Condé Nast, the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards, the CFDA/Vogue Fashioin Fund, Create & Cultivate, and more. Of her accomplishments, ASME said, "Chan is a one-woman multi-media age force for change, raising awareness about size acceptance and body positivity through her work as both an editor and entrepreneur." She has also been featured as an influencer in campaigns for clients like Valentino, Chanel, Google, J.Crew, Old Navy, Rent the Runway, Anthropologie, Adidas, and more. Outside of work, Chan serves as an ambassador for the National Eating Disorders Association, an Advisory Board Member for the Model Alliance, a jury member for the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards, and a guest lecturer at the country's top fashion universities, including Parsons, NYU, FIT, and SCAD.

As a Senior Marketing and Brand Manager, I design and deliver compelling messaging and strategy for new product/category introductions, seasonal releases, and go-to-market campaigns. Story telling is my super power! I love collaborating within the creative process to ensure assets come to life that tell our intended message. I have successfully managed millions in budget and have loved watching items sell out (even post pandemic). I have over 15 years of experience in marketing, branding, and digital strategy across multiple industries and geographies. I have successfully launched over 50 new products, developed integrated cross-channel campaigns that drove significant revenue growth, and managed global marketing and branding strategies across more than 13 regions. I am passionate about helping businesses thrive and achieve the reach they deserve. I have worked on campaigns that have achieved viral reach without any paid placement behind them, some with over a million views. I have also worked closely with senior executives and founders in creating leadership development programs, global diversity initiatives, and employee empowerment curriculums. I have a strong track record of building high-functioning, cohesive teams, mentoring individual contributors and managers, and collaborating and influencing stakeholders across the organization. I started my career working with non-profits, helping immigrants and refugees find valuable work placement and educating the community on inclusion. This experience instilled in me a passion for employee advocacy and diversity within the work space, and helped me cultivate skills in public speaking, communication, community organizing, and program funding.

I graduated from the Fisher College of Business at The Ohio State University, Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science in Administration Degree focused in Marketing. I have extensive credentials in media planning/buying for both traditional and digital mediums, marketing strategy, and digital media.
