Leadership

Laura Alexis is a globally recognized sales leader and innovation strategist, honored as a 2025 Inc. 500 Female Founder. With over $350 million in career sales and more than 12 years of experience in luxury vacation and real estate travel, she holds multiple records in high-value hospitality sales worldwide.

After seeing firsthand the limitations of traditional timeshare and ownership models—where flexibility, equity, and true value were often missing—Laura set out to create something better. Her vision led to the founding of Private Residence International (PRI), a boutique consulting and management firm that empowers clients and property partners to reimagine how luxury real estate can work for them.

Today, Laura leads PRI with a mission to blend lifestyle-driven real estate with intelligent cash flow strategies—offering guidance, infrastructure, and high-touch support without the constraints of outdated ownership models.
