# Charles Gorra

> Charles Gorra is the New York-based founder and CEO of Rebag, a luxury-resale company built around a direct, data-led answer to an awkward question: what is a designer bag worth right now? Raised in Monaco and trained in finance at HEC Paris, Goldman Sachs and TPG Capital, Gorra changed direction at Harvard Business School after an unpaid internship at Rent the Runway. He launched Rebag in 2014, developed the Clair pricing system, and has since pushed the company beyond its direct channel through partnerships with Bloomingdale's, Walmart and Amazon.
