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).

Executive career

Guiliano began her career as a multi-lingual translator, including work for the United Nations. In 1979 she left the translation industry and joined the Champagne News and Information Bureau where she first began working with Veuve Clicquot. In 1984 the company asked her to create an American subsidiary, Clicquot, Inc. where she would become CEO in 1991. In this position she increased the market share of the wine from 1% 1984 and to 25% at the end of her tenure. In 2005 she joined the board of the James Beard Foundation and sat on the Executive Committee of Moet-Hennessy at LVMH. She retired from Clicquot in 2006 to become a full-time writer.

Writing

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.
