Italian-American award-winning chef and television personality Giada De Laurentiis blazed the path for female celebrity chefs. A pioneer in a still predominately male-dominated industry, Giada followed opportunities that ultimately led to her 21-year stint on The Food Network.
As Giada recalls, most of her career was "edited." Wanting to rewrite the script to show a truer version of herself, she decided to get out while she was at the top. Giada launched her lifestyle platform Giadzy to pursue her heart’s true calling – entrepreneurship. With Giadzy, Giada showcases her love of Italy while weaving together the stories of each hand-selected product, creating an emotional connection with the consumer and building a community with her new membership program. Despite having faced her own struggles as a female chef and entrepreneur, Giada believes it is essential to enjoy the journey on the path to success.
