Manager, Business Development - Luxury Travel@Capital One
Verified
Virginia Thomas Gray is a senior brand and business strategist with a rare ability to think across strategy, story, and execution — translating culture into commercial success. Formerly a VP of Development, she has led business growth through brand creation, partnerships, and cultural programming, and is equally fluent with founders, collaborators, and executive stakeholders.
