Lara Assali Email & Phone Number

Lara Assali is a Founder at Kankané based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, North America. E-commerce founder and impact-focused advocate, dedicated to bridging cultural divides through thoughtfully sourced designs for the home. My platform, Kankané, showcases Levantine artisanal products, strategically driving growth through digital marketing, data-driven merchandising, and strong partnerships with suppliers and artisans. With experience overseeing the publishing of impact reports at Goodee, I am deeply committed to promoting responsible practices and measuring progress in ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship, and community empowerment. Skilled in building lasting relationships and negotiating favorable terms (demonstrated by 10% cost savings at Goodee), I bring a proven track record in optimizing operations and boosting online sales. My background includes roles at Sarah's Bag (where I boosted online sales by 44% through SEO/SEM strategies) and Tight Knit Syria, where I collaborated with artisans on design and production. With fluency in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish, I am adept at navigating diverse markets and building cross-cultural collaborations. I am driven by a vision to create a more sustainable and culturally rich future that preserves the beauty of traditional crafts. Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate on projects that blend purpose where everyone can profit!
