Author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, former President & CEO of Clicquot, Inc. and LVMH executive Mireille Guiliano has been hailed as “a true marketing innovator” and “a barrier breaking pioneer.”
In 1984 Guiliano was tapped to re-launch the 225-year-old flagship brand Veuve Clicquot in the U.S. In two decades under her leadership, it grew from less than one percent to about 25% of the U.S. champagne market.
Her runaway bestseller, French Women Don’t Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure — part memoir and part gastronomy and practical philosophy guide — was called “a welcome reprieve from the scores of diet books ... a stirring reminder of the importance of joie de vivre,” by Publishers Weekly. Translated into 37 languages, it was a #1 New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly and Wall Street Journal bestseller. It has over two million copies in print in America.
Mireille has appeared on programs from Oprah to The Today Show and been profiled in The New York Times, TIME, People and Newsweek. Her latest book is French Women for all Seasons: A Year of Secrets, Recipes and Pleasure.
One of the few women who have reached the top echelon of the wine and spirits industry, and a member of the Executive Committee of Moet-Hennessy (LVMH, France), Mireille has been called a champion of women in business. She frequently presents internationally on business topics, especially related to the luxury goods sector, as well as on food, wine, travel and entertaining. Guiliano is currently writing a new book about women and business.
