When she married a decade ago, Elisabeth Munder left New York for Palm Beach in pursuit of the healthy work-life balance innate to the Sunshine State. Originally from Boston, Munder brings a degree of cool Northeast refinement to the pizzazz of Palm Beach. Her first job out of school was assistant to the chairman of Cartier in New York; she then became special events manager at Salvatore Ferragamo before working as marketing director for Saks Fifth Avenue. Today she’s the founder of Luxury Ink, a media and marketing firm specializing in lifestyle and luxury retail—and events like 2017’s 3,200-person opening of RH West Palm. Munder stays busy with her career and two young sons but also finds time for charitable involvement with The Society of the Four Arts, Kips Bay Decorator Show House, and The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness.
