Elise Merghart

Strategic Director
Consistency, loyalty and experience–those are the hallmarks of Becca and qualities that Elise Merghart exhibits. She has worked at the agency for over a decade, collaborating with respected chefs, hotels, restaurants and hospitality brands across the country.

She joined the team in 2013 after working as the assistant to writer Jeffrey Steingarten, the long-time food critic for Vogue and author of The Man Who Ate Everything, and has since teamed up with Eric Ripert, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Ignacio Mattos, Ralph Lauren, Netflix, Roman and Williams, Tourists, Auberge Resorts Collection, Rockefeller Center and more. Elise enjoys building long-lasting relationships with both clients and media over extended periods of time. She is an avid reader and loves telling stories as much as reading them. Elise studied journalism, holds a culinary degree and is certified in plant-based nutrition. She loves an extra-dirty gin martini, being outdoors and visiting her spiritual home of Maine.
