Alessandra Garavoglia, born around 1960, is an Italian heiress and businesswoman who is a major shareholder and Director of the Campari Group, one of the world's largest spirits manufacturers. She inherited her stake from her parents, solidifying her status as a third-generation figure in the company. The family's involvement began when her father, Domenico Garavoglia, took control of the company in the 1970s, after a long career as an employee.

Alessandra received a specialized education that blended social science with the arts, graduating with a Bachelor of Social Sciences from the University of Milan. Intriguingly, she wrote her college dissertation on the domestic life portrayed in Louisa May Alcott's American classic, 'Little Women', showcasing a unique connection to literature and culture that balances the commercial nature of her family's wealth. She is fluent in English, French, and Italian.

Alessandra Garavoglia’s career has been one of long-term stewardship and high-level governance within the family empire. She inherited her significant stake in the Campari Group following the death of her mother, Rosa Anna Magno Garavoglia, in 2016. She holds an estimated 24% economic interest in the company, which is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana).

Her primary professional role is serving as an Independent Director on the company’s Board. In this capacity, she helps guide the strategic direction of the global spirits group, which is known for its aggressive brand acquisition strategy. Her involvement, alongside her brother Luca Garavoglia (Chairman), ensures that the family’s 'old-school culture of family ties and friendship' is maintained, preserving its Italian heritage even as it operates as a sophisticated global player in over 190 countries. Her tenure has seen the continuation of Campari’s focus on responsible drinking and artistic brand building.

Alessandra Garavoglia’s commitment to social impact is primarily executed through the corporate structures and foundations associated with the Campari Group, reflecting the Italian tradition of linking commerce with cultural patronage.

• Art and Culture: The Group maintains a strong focus on art and cultural heritage, owning the Campari Gallery and promoting the 'Cinzano Archive', continuing the tradition started by founder Davide Campari, who famously collaborated with Futurist artists.
• Responsible Drinking: The Group actively champions its 'Global Strategy on Responsible Drinking' and promotes equity in the workplace, focusing on 'gender equality' and support for employees who become parents.
• Foundations: She supports the family's foundations, including the Fondazione Campari, which invests in community well-being and responsible practices in local communities.

The family's decision to maintain control ensures that the company's social mission remains anchored in its Italian roots and values.
