Question #1  –  “You've had a wildly varied background, from working with the largest manufacturers and retailers in America to helming the Chinese (in mandarin!) and European markets for a double Diamond Trading Company site holder's jewelry company in Hong Kong. Can you walk us through the highlights of your career to give us some insight into how you became a fine jewelry launch and growth expert?  Time Stamp: 
Question #2  –  “To say that you take the road less traveled is an understatement.  For instance, why did you move to China – with a 6-month-old and a 1-year-old baby, no less – and how did you survive in a small city where there were no known English speakers in your vicinity?  And then there’s the time you also lived in Blantyre, Malawi in Africa. Where did you fit that in, and why?”  Time Stamp: 
Question #3  – “Elle, if you don’t mind, let's get a little more personal.  You’re getting engaged in 11 days speaks of serious decisiveness. Can you fill us in on that story a little and tell us how it goes hand in hand with your business management style?”  Time Stamp: 
Question #4  –  “Your startup fine jewelry retailer won "E-tailer of the Year" from the world’s largest jewelry trade show.  You received the JNA Awards a mere two years after you launched, beating out the world’s largest jewelry retailer, Chow Tai Fook.  And then the $10M IPO on the Australian stock exchange of that start-up, only four years after you launched. What did you learn during that process?”  Time Stamp: 
Question #5  –  Elle, why do you think you are able to help your clients launch and grow businesses so successfully?”  Time Stamp: 
Question #6  – “Despite your evangelical stance on embracing technology to translate a brand or personality to its digital footprint, you've shared that the most important thing in business is people. How do you marry these two tenants?”  Time Stamp: 
Question #7  –  “What's the number one reason why Hill & Co. can help jewelry and jewelry support businesses grow faster?”  Time Stamp: 
Question #8  – “You are a business management consultant who holds a degree in acting, not an MBA. Ok, should we be skeptical here?”  Time Stamp: 
Question #9  –  “Who is the perfect client for Hill & Co., and why do you prefer not to refer to them as clients?”  Time Stamp: 
Question #10  –  “You have worked with so many different types of clients within the jewelry industry, e.g., diamond mine owners, manufacturers, retailers, designers. How are you able to wear so many different hats, and which ones do you prefer working with the most?”  Time Stamp:
