Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is making waves in the business world with the upcoming launch of her new lifestyle and cooking brand, American Riviera Orchard. However, it seems that she is facing some challenges in finding the right person to lead the brand as its CEO. Reports have emerged that Netflix could step in to help Meghan find a suitable candidate for the position.
The 42-year-old royal has been actively promoting her brand by sending out homemade jams and preserves to celebrities and influencers, but the search for a CEO has proven to be more difficult than anticipated. Despite interviewing multiple candidates over the past five weeks, Meghan has yet to find the perfect fit for the role. A source from California revealed to the Daily Mail, “The initial CEO search has not panned out so far.”
In light of these challenges, Meghan is reportedly in negotiations with Netflix to enter into a commercial partnership. If the deal goes through, Netflix would assist in finding a CEO for American Riviera Orchard and would potentially take on a more active role in running the lifestyle business. The insider shared, “This is something new for Netflix. It would run the lifestyle business with Meghan, developing products as spin-offs from her show. If a partnership is agreed, it’s likely that Netflix would install its own CEO to run operations.”
While details about Meghan’s brand are still under wraps, it has been revealed that she will be offering a range of home and lifestyle goods, including strawberry jam and limited edition honey. Additionally, Meghan has announced plans to work on a cooking show with Netflix that will focus on cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. The show will be produced by the same team behind the popular series Selena + Chef, led by singer Selena Gomez.
Despite not having formal training as a chef, Meghan is no stranger to the kitchen, having shared her love for cooking and entertaining on her former lifestyle blog, the Tig. With her passion for food and hospitality, Meghan is poised to bring her unique perspective to the world of cooking shows and lifestyle brands.
As Meghan continues to navigate the challenges of launching her brand, the potential partnership with Netflix could provide the support she needs to find the right leader for American Riviera Orchard. With her innovative approach to business and her commitment to creating quality products, Meghan is set to make a mark in the world of lifestyle brands with her new venture.
