Lucy Davis Haynes

Lucy Davis Haynes ’84 began her marketing career in Memphis at Schering Plough and later The Promus Companies (Hampton Inn) in brand management. She moved to Nashville in 1994 and worked in sales and sales training for Worth New York for 28 years. She told the Vanderbilt Owen School of Business for an article in 2009 that the “sales job (was meant) to be something of a timeout, a way to keep her hand in the business game as she relocated to Nashville while pregnant with twins.” More than 30 years later, she is still selling. Haynes currently works as a stylist for three luxury fashion companies (Lafayette 148 New York, Anatomie, and shortyLOVE) in the luxury direct to consumer market. Haynes received a B.A. in economics from Hollins and her M.B.A. from Vanderbilt University in 1988.

Haynes has served on the Alumnae Board two separate terms (1998-2000, 2007-2008). She currently sits on the Nashville Public Library Foundation Board, the Nashville Public Radio Board, and the Montgomery Bell Academy Board of Trust. Past volunteer roles include: MBA Mother’s Club President, Antiques and Garden Show Chair, Frist Gala Chair, Junior League Show House Chair, and the Women’s Fund Board.
