NAWBO Greater Raleigh Taps Italian Importer Extraordinaire, Susan Gravely, CEO of Vietri, Inc. To Present At October 26th Event |
- Susan Gravely’s inspiring story of building her business and becoming the largest U.S. importer of exclusively Italian-designed dinner, table and housewares will inspire members and guests to let their passion fuel their dreams of success
With a theme of “How Passion and Vision can Create a Business Model That Keeps Growing “, the Greater Raleigh chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners welcomes Susan Gravely, CEO of Vietri, Inc. to share her story. Gravely, whose trip to Italy in 1983 with her mother and sister sparked a deep appreciation for the locally-crafted dinnerware pieces she discovered, ultimately became the impetus for her wildly successful business.
Lou Byrd, NAWBO Greater Raleigh’s president remarks, “Susan’s story is incredibly moving and I’m certain everyone in the room will be inspired by it. As business owners, sometimes we need to have our enthusiasm re-ignited because long days and daily chaos can make us question our mission. We are all looking forward to a memorable luncheon and taking away from it a few pearls of business wisdom from Susan.”
