Meet the Author & Owner of Sugar et Cie
Prior to founding Sugar et Cie, a lifestyle brand focused on fine jewelry and home accessories, Leah (L. or "Elle") spent most of her career in Finance & Technology, advising technology companies on how to grow through partnerships and Mergers & Acquisitions.
Leah applies the same analytical lens that she developed in her management roles within the technology industry to her work at Sugar et Cie.
The Intersection of the Jewelry Industry & Ecommerce
Growing up in Silicon Valley, technology has always been an integral part of her life and career. When she first got involved in collecting antique jewelry, most of the business was conducted offline and information was rather guarded. Through Sugar et Cie, Leah has combined her passion for one-of-a-kind objects and jewelry with eCommerce, making fine jewelry and antiques more transparent and accessible.
Sharing Her Knowledge
Over the years, Leah has developed a wealth of knowledge that comes from examining, researching, and valuing thousands of pieces. She loves to share her knowledge and often writes articles for Sugar et Cie and other sites and publications.
