Steering Beverly Hills’ Luxury Corridor Toward Renewed Cultural Vitality
Kathy Gohari has reassumed the presidency of the Rodeo Drive Committee, marking a thoughtful return to leadership after two decades of guiding the famed luxury boulevard. With deep experience spanning roles at Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, and Giorgio Armani, her appointment signals a renewed focus on initiatives that blend heritage with modern relevance.
Gohari’s leadership credentials are well ingrained: she held the committee’s top post from 2017‑18, served as vice president most recently, and maintains a seat on the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau. Her intimate understanding of both luxury markets and local civic partnerships positions her to deftly navigate Rodeo Drive’s evolving role as a cultural as well as commercial destination.
Her return underlines a broader strategy—curating events, art activations, and public programming that expand the street’s narrative beyond retail. Gohari’s vision balances continuity and progression: a luxury corridor that honors tradition while adapting to a global clientele increasingly drawn to experience, storytelling, and community presence.
Under Gohari’s direction, Rodeo Drive commits not just to commerce, but to culture—transforming its three‑block stretch into a stage for craftsmanship, conversation, and creative expression.
