Caroline Ghosn

Caroline Ghosn is an American entrepreneur and artist who has spent over a decade building platforms that bring people together. She is best known as the founder of Levo, a career development community for young professionals that launched in 2011 and grew into a major resource for mentorship and networking. After stepping back from Levo, she shifted into the arts, founding the Recto Verseau Art Collective in 2020 and Experience Architects in 2025, an experiential design studio that creates immersive environments.

In 2024, Ghosn made headlines as the lead artist behind the Temple of Together at Burning Man, a large-scale installation designed for reflection and connection. That same year she starred in the off-Broadway play Duality, showing her range as a performer as well as a creator. Her work consistently explores themes of empathy, consciousness, and human connection, and she has become a respected voice in the experiential art world.

As of 2026, Ghosn continues to lead Experience Architects and remains active in the art and design community. She is also the eldest daughter of Carlos Ghosn, the former CEO of Nissan and Renault, though she has built her own path far from the automotive world. [edit]

Caroline Ghosn grew up in New York City as the eldest of four children in a family that valued ambition and hard work. Her father, Carlos Ghosn, was already a rising executive in the auto industry, but Caroline has said her parents kept family life grounded and focused on education. She attended the Chapin School in Manhattan, a private all-girls school, where she developed an early interest in leadership and social issues.

After high school, Ghosn went to Yale University, graduating in 2009 with a degree in Ethics, Politics, and Economics. At Yale she was involved in student organizations and began thinking about how to help young people navigate their careers. Following graduation, she took a job as a consultant at McKinsey & Company, a role that gave her insight into corporate structures but also left her feeling that something was missing for her generation.

The idea for Levo came from her own experience and that of her friends, who struggled to find mentors and clear career paths after college. She teamed up with Amanda Pouchot, a friend from Yale, and together they started building what would become Levo League, a platform that would offer advice, networking, and mentorship to young professionals. The early days were scrappy, with the two women working out of a small office and relying on their own networks to spread the word. [edit]

Caroline Ghosn launched Levo League in 2011 with Amanda Pouchot, and the platform quickly gained traction among millennials looking for career guidance. By 2015, Levo had raised millions in funding and boasted a community of over 2 million members, with notable figures like Sheryl Sandberg participating in mentorship sessions. Ghosn served as CEO, steering the company through partnerships with major corporations and media outlets.

After a decade in the tech and career space, Ghosn pivoted to the arts. In 2020 she founded the Recto Verseau Art Collective, a production studio focused on public art and film. Her most visible project came in 2024 when she was selected as lead artist for the Temple of Together at Burning Man. The temple, a massive wooden structure designed for mourning and celebration, drew thousands of visitors and received widespread media coverage from outlets like Dezeen and The Architect's Newspaper.

That same year, Ghosn made her acting debut in the off-Broadway play Duality, which explored themes of identity and connection. In 2025 she founded Experience Architects, an experiential design studio that creates immersive environments for brands and institutions. Her recent ventures show a clear through-line: creating spaces where people can reflect, connect, and feel something real. [edit]

Caroline Ghosn is often described as a bridge between the corporate world and the creative avant-garde. In her professional life she presents as polished and strategic, a natural outgrowth of her consulting background. But her public persona also embraces vulnerability and exploration, whether she is discussing mental health on Instagram or designing a space for grief at Burning Man.

Her social media presence, particularly on Instagram, mixes behind-the-scenes looks at her art installations with personal reflections on consciousness and mortality. She has built a following of people who appreciate her willingness to tackle big questions. In interviews, she comes across as thoughtful and direct, often pushing back on conventional definitions of success.

Fans and media have praised her for using her platform to normalize conversations about death and emotional well-being. Her work at Burning Man, in particular, showed a side of her that many found surprising, and it solidified her reputation as someone who is not afraid to take risks. [edit]

Caroline Ghosn occupies an unusual place in the public imagination: a figure whose name is instantly recognizable to business insiders and Burning Man regulars, yet who remains largely unknown to the broader celebrity-watching public. As of August 2026, iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated her profile but she does not currently hold a placement in the published rankings, neither in the Global Top 1,000 nor on any Top-100 scope list. That absence, though, is less a measure of her cultural footprint than a reflection of how her fame operates: it is deep within specific communities rather than wide across the mainstream.

Her renown is built on a series of high-profile, deeply personal projects. The 2024 Temple of Together at Burning Man made her the first female BIPOC lead artist to design the festival's iconic temple, a commission that placed her at the center of one of the world's most talked-about art events. That work, along with her earlier founding of Levo, has earned her coverage in outlets from Teen Vogue to The Architect's Newspaper, and her speaking engagements are managed by a professional bureau. Yet her audience is diffuse, a mix of art-world peers, startup veterans, and burners who respect her craft, not an organized fandom with a name or rituals. There are no fan campaigns or shared inside jokes; instead, her influence flows through professional networks and the communities she builds around themes of grief, mental health, and conscious death.

Her father's dramatic escape from Japan in 2019 made the Ghosn surname globally known, but Caroline has deliberately carved her own path, and the iFANN evaluation reflects that her fame is earned on her own terms, measured in the impact of her installations and the trust of the communities she serves.[edit]

Caroline Ghosn is fluent in French and English, a reflection of her dual heritage. She has spoken openly about her interest in psychedelics and their potential for mental health and personal growth, a topic she has explored in her art and public talks. She is also a certified yoga instructor, a practice she credits with helping her manage the stresses of entrepreneurship. Ghosn has a tattoo of the word "breathe" on her wrist, a reminder she got during a particularly intense period of building Levo. She is an avid traveler and has visited over 40 countries, often incorporating elements of her travels into her art installations. In 2024, she gave a TEDx talk about the importance of designing spaces for grief and celebration, a theme that carried into her Burning Man temple.

One of the most retold stories about Ghosn is her 2024 Burning Man Temple of Together, which made her the first female BIPOC lead artist to design the festival's temple. The design, inspired by Lebanese weaving techniques, was intended to be carbon-negative and was described by Ghosn as creating "place as medicine." The temple was burned at the festival's conclusion, as tradition dictates, and remains a defining moment of her career.

Another frequently mentioned chapter is her 2018 wedding to Nicholas Flanders, held at an art sanctuary in Japan, a venue choice that resonated given her father's deep ties to the country through Nissan. The wedding was featured in Town & Country, adding a personal touch to her public narrative.[edit]

Caroline Ghosn is the eldest child of Carlos Ghosn, the former CEO of Nissan and Renault, and his first wife, Rita Ghosn. She has three younger siblings: two sisters, Nadine and Maya, and a brother, Anthony. The family moved to Paris when Caroline was a child, and she has described her upbringing as multicultural, with strong ties to both Lebanon and Brazil through her parents' backgrounds.

In 2018, Ghosn married Nicholas Flanders, a fellow entrepreneur and co-founder of the climate tech company Twelve. The couple held their wedding ceremony at an art sanctuary in Japan, a nod to their shared love of creativity and design. They live in New York City, and Ghosn has said that her husband is her biggest supporter in her artistic pursuits. The couple does not have children, and Ghosn has spoken about the importance of timing in that decision. [edit]

Caroline Ghosn is closely associated with her Levo co-founder Amanda Pouchot, with whom she built the platform from the ground up. She is also known for her connection to her father, Carlos Ghosn, though she has worked to establish her own identity. In the art world, she has collaborated with the Burning Man community and the theater team behind Duality. Her husband, Nicholas Flanders, is a prominent figure in climate tech as the co-founder of Twelve. [edit]

Caroline Ghosn married Nicholas Flanders on October 7, 2018, in a ceremony held at an art sanctuary in Japan. The couple's wedding was featured in Town & Country, highlighting the unique venue and the couple's shared appreciation for creativity. Flanders is the co-founder of Twelve, a company focused on turning carbon dioxide into useful products, and he has been a supportive partner in Ghosn's artistic projects.

Before her marriage, Ghosn kept her romantic life relatively private. There are no widely reported relationships from her earlier years, and she has not spoken publicly about any previous partners. Her relationship with Flanders appears to be her most significant, and the two have been together since at least 2018. As of 2026, they remain married and live in New York City. [edit]

iFANN currently estimates Caroline Ghosn's net worth at $10 million as of 2026. Her wealth stems from a combination of her entrepreneurial ventures and her family background. While she has not publicly disclosed her exact earnings, her decade leading Levo likely provided her with a solid financial foundation, as the company raised over $10 million in venture funding during her tenure. Since transitioning to the arts, Ghosn has taken on high-profile projects that come with significant budgets. Leading the Temple of Together at Burning Man involved managing a large-scale construction project, and her role in the off-Broadway play Duality added to her income. Her newest venture, Experience Architects, works with corporate clients, which suggests a steady revenue stream. Ghosn also benefits from her family's wealth. Her father, Carlos Ghosn, was one of the highest-paid executives in the auto industry, and she is likely to have received trust funds or other financial support. However, she has consistently emphasized her own accomplishments and has built a career that stands on its own merits.[edit]
