Amélie du Chalard was mentioned in an article in Madame Figaro regarding French businesswomen in New York.
MADAME FIGARO - "French touch - Les FRANÇAISES à la CONQUÊTE de NEW YORK "
In New York more than anywhere else, "time is money," especially since the city has also experienced rampant inflation and soaring rents. Women living there have adapted to American pragmatism and the desire to be as productive as possible with their time. This is particularly true in the tech industry. "Here, meetings never last more than thirty minutes," says Julie Chapon, founder of the Yuka app, who has been a New Yorker for a year. "We get straight to the point, it's pleasant. The same goes for networking; we move from one person to another easily." A meeting must be productive and lead to a sale or a "result-oriented" decision. They all say: to make your mark in the Big Apple, you must know how to respond efficiently and pragmatically to impromptu requests. Especially in the art world, where American collectors get straight to the point. This is the observation of Amélie du Chalard, founder of the art gallery Amélie, Maison d'Art, a finalist of the Business with Attitude 2022 Award, who is opening an address in the heart of SoHo on March 27th. "Our American collectors are generally more impulsive and generous when buying artwork than in Europe. They are hedonistic and know how to indulge themselves. They already represent 20% of our turnover." Her gallery is positioned as a "one-stop shop," with highly personalized assistance - a must for success in New York, where the obsession with service reigns. "Guided by their architects and interior decorators (a classic move here), our clients sometimes turn to us to dress their entire property because we offer various types of media (painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography...)." "This is the number one lesson to remember here: the expected level of service is very high, indexed on luxury codes," confirms Isabelle Dubern.
