About the founders/CEO:
Founded in Paris in 2019, by two sisters Amandine Julia and
Marion Merle, passionate about interior design and willing to allow anyone to
live in a design interior created by oneself.
Plum provides easy-to-access decor inspiration - from ideation to execution for
both consumer and business clients - via a convenient, online one-stop shop.
Amandine is the Co-Founder and CEO of Plum. She started out by undertaking a
Master’s in
Management and Business Administration at EM Lyon business school. From there
she worked as financial analyst at Procter & Gamble and as Consultant
at A.T Kearney. Then, she co-founded and was CEO of Hartô, a design
furniture and decoration brand, for 5 years. This design expertise
surely helped her when founding Plum in 2019.
Marion completed a Master’s in Management at KEDGE Business School, and in
doing so worked part time for Groupe Ares, helping out with development and operations. Upon
graduating, she then became Manager of Development and Operations, a role she worked in for one year before
joining Galeries Lafayette as Supply Chain project manager.
