.LauraMercier founder Janet Gurwitch spoke to WWD about her hopes of adding to her collection of World Series rings.
“I gave the book to my Laura Mercier team at the time and told them, ‘We are the Oakland A’s competing against the big guys like Chanel and Lancôme.”When Crane approached Gurwitch a few years later, she told him she was interested — but she had one caveat. “I told him I also wanted to be on the board,” she said.
While he didn’t doubt her ability as a businesswoman, “he asked me, ‘What do you know about baseball the game?’ recalled Gurwitch. Crane did appoint her to the Astros board — today she is the only woman on it — and also gave her a book about the game. “Today I know a helluva lot!” laughed Gurwitch, noting she’s gotten pretty good at being able to identify a variety of pitches by sight and attends as many of the 162 games in a season as her schedule permits.
This will be the third World Series for the Astros during Gurwitch’s time with the team: They won in 2017, lost in the seventh game and are now back again in a matchup many baseball experts expect will go the full gamut, too. And it’s not the only return for Gurwitch. The entrepreneur recently joined Advent International as an operating partner, which acquired BareMinerals, Buxom and Laura Mercier from Shiseido for $700 million in August.
