About the book

In her compelling memoir, Terri Eagle takes readers behind the scenes of the beauty, jewelry, interior design, and bridal industries—sharing her experiences launching iconic products, modernizing global brands, and navigating the complexities of executive-level leadership across public, privately held, private-equity-owned, and family-held companies.

From her early days at L’Oréal, Terri mastered the art of sales and marketing, moving through leadership roles at Montblanc, David Yurman, John Hardy, Schumacher, and Morilee New York. The Champagne CEO is the book she wrote because it didn’t exist—a practical, honest, deeply personal guide for anyone building a career and a life at the highest level.

This isn’t a book about trappings or titles. It’s a book about the demands of real leadership—how to build teams that outlast you, make calls that compound over time, and lead with the kind of courage, humility, and conviction that earns people’s best work.
