Mireille Guiliano (born April 14, 1946, in Moyeuvre-Grande, France) is a French-American author and former corporate executive at LVMH.
Education
Mireille Guiliano was born in 1946 in Moyeuvre-Grande, France. She completed a year of her education as an exchange student in the United States and studied French and English literature at the Sorbonne Nouvelle (1966–1970) and received her Master's degree. She also graduated as a translator/interpreter from the Institut Supérieur d'Interprétariat et de Traduction (ISIT).
Career
Prior to becoming a full-time author, Guiliano was for over 20 years the spokesperson for Champagne Veuve Clicquot and a senior executive at LVMH as well as CEO of Clicquot, Inc., the United States firm she helped found in 1984 and was its first employee.
After publishing French Women Don’t Get Fat and French Women for All Seasons, Guiliano decided to retire from Cliquot, Inc. (LVMH) and follow her new passion to become a full-time writer.
She contributes articles on food, wine, travel, and lifestyle to a wide range of publications, including Town & Country and The Quarterly Review of Wines. She has authored essays for Newsweek, Bon Appétit, and Nespresso magazines, as well as the third chapter of Parisiennes (Flammarion 2007).
Criticism
Guilano's French Women series has been criticized for promoting a stereotype of French women, failing to mention the main reasons for differences in obesity rates between France and the USA, promoting unhealthy attitudes towards food, promoting an elitist view of female beauty and just poor writing. The British journalist Zoë Williams also singled her out for criticism in her article "Cherchez la femme", with particular criticism directed at her catchphrase "la moitié, s'il vous plaît" ("just give me half of that, please").
In 2007, Guiliano was voted as one of New York's Worst Bosses on Gawker.com.
Personal
Guiliano' husband Edward Guiliano, is the President Emeritus of the New York Institute of Technology. She is the co-founder of the Guiliano Global Fellowship Program with her husband.
