Young Alumni Spotlight: Rosie O’Neill ’00, M.B.A. ’05
Rosie knows the hardships of owning a start-up. She co-founded Sugarfina, a luxury candy shop, which began as one store in Beverly Hills and will expand to seven stores nationally by the end of the year. Living through the philosophy "life is short, make it sweet," she's enjoying the fruits of her labor which taste like champagne gummy bears and peach bellinis.
