Speaker Profile:

Michelle Garnaut



Michelle Garnaut began her career as one of China’s most celebrated restaurateurs in 1989, when she opened M at the Fringe in Hong Kong. It swiftly grew into a city institution, and in 1999, M on the Bund opened, the first independent restaurant on the historic Shanghai waterfront. Like its predecessor, it soon became a beloved oasis for locals, visitors and lovers of good food and warm service.

 
Today, Michelle’s M Restaurant Group includes M on the Bund, Capital M in Beijing and Glam, a chic Shanghai dining lounge. Over the years, in tandem with the restaurants’ exuberant growth, an empire of cultural events has grown up. Michelle founded the Shanghai and Capital Literary Festivals, the Shanghai Chamber Music Festival and Competition and the M Literary Residency. She’s also the co-founder of the Village People Project, which aims to improve the lives and health of villagers in rural China and a supporter of Educating Girls in Rural China. In Beijing and Shanghai, she spearheads Mentor Walks, where up-and-coming professional women can seek advice from experienced mentors.
Michelle is the recipient of many international honours, including, in September 2015, the inaugural award in Food at the Advance Global Australian Awards.
