Lawrence Stroll, born on July 11, 1959, in Montreal, Canada, is a billionaire businessman and investor with a prominent role in the luxury fashion and motorsport industries. Stroll began his career in fashion, helping to expand several major brands. He played a key role in the global success of Tommy Hilfiger, becoming a significant investor in the brand during the 1990s. Later, he was also instrumental in developing the Michael Kors brand, taking it to new heights and establishing its presence as a global fashion powerhouse.

In addition to his business ventures in fashion, Stroll is well-known for his passion for motorsport and luxury cars. He has built an extensive collection of classic Ferraris and other high-performance vehicles. His interest in motorsport led him to become involved in Formula One, where he made headlines for his investment in the Racing Point F1 Team, previously known as Force India, in 2018. Stroll led a consortium to rescue the financially troubled team, rebranding it to Aston Martin in 2021. The Aston Martin Formula One Team's return marked the brand's re-entry into the sport after more than 60 years.

In 2020, Stroll further solidified his ties with Aston Martin by becoming a major shareholder in Aston Martin Lagonda, the British luxury car manufacturer. He became the executive chairman and embarked on a mission to revitalize the company’s brand and performance. His involvement in both the road car division and the Formula One team demonstrates his vision to elevate Aston Martin to new levels of success both on and off the track.

Stroll’s son, Lance Stroll, is also a Formula One driver, currently competing for Aston Martin in the F1 World Championship. Lawrence Stroll's investments and leadership in Aston Martin have positioned him as one of the most influential figures in the luxury automotive and motorsport industries.
