Elie Sebbag

Elie Sebbag is a co-founder of Miyam, a unique grocery concept based in Paris that focuses on providing affordable, seasonal, and local farm products while promoting sustainable practices. The idea for Miyam was born in early 2019 from a collaboration between Elie and his siblings, Samuel and Léa, who share a passion for cooking and a commitment to enhancing the connection between consumers and local producers. Their initiative aims to create a community-oriented shopping experience, where customers can directly engage with the farmers and artisans behind the products they purchase.12

Miyam operates with a strong emphasis on sustainability, opting not to sell meat or fish, and instead focusing on organic and locally sourced fruits and vegetables. The stores are designed to minimize waste, employing strategies such as recycling unsold goods and ensuring that all products meet strict ecological criteria, such as avoiding chemical treatments and greenhouse farming.2

Elie Sebbag has a background in business, having studied at EDHEC Business School, and has previously held positions at organizations like BonneGueule and REI Habitat. His professional journey reflects a commitment to innovative business practices that align with environmental sustainability and community engagement.34
