Ralph Lauren's Investors Listen To Her

Evren Doğan Kopelman, the Corporate Vice President of Investor Relations at Ralph Lauren, informs investors about the fashion giant and writes analysis reports. Kopelman is the top ranked retail analyst, according to the Wall Street Journal.

She graduated from Robert College and she studied Industrial Engineering at Stanford University. While she was in the university, she did not intend to have a career in finance but after graduating from the prestigious school, she started to work for Robertson Stephens as an analyst and covered specialty retail stocks from 1998 to 2002. After leaving the company, she received an MBA in finance from another very prestigious institution, the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. She also holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

When she graduated, she was very close to the world’s finance capital, New York, and found a position at JP Morgan as a senior equity research analyst covering specialty retail and apparel. In 2009, she transferred to another corporate American bank, Wells Fargo Securities. She was a senior equity research analyst covering specialty retail and apparel between the dates of November 2009 to March 2015 at Wells Fargo. Her suggestions for investors about the apparel-retailing sector made her renowned. Retailers were plagued throughout 2010 by continuing consumer cautiousness and the threat of skyrocketing raw-materials prices. But Kopelman earned the No. 1 spot in the broad line and apparel-retailing sector by taking a long-term approach.

Kopelman has worked for Ralph Lauren since April 2015. The daughter of a dentist mother and custom broker father, she is married and has two children.
