Meet the Team

Sherry Gvili

Sherry Gvili is the founder and president of The Luxury Kitchen, with a depth of experience that has also made her a luxury kitchen appliance expert. Her unwavering passion for quality and sophistication led her to create The Luxury Kitchen—the only Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove retail showroom in the country.

Situated in the heart of West Hollywood’s design district, the showroom is a culmination of Sherry’s decades of experience and is a testament to her commitment to excellence.

“I wanted to showcase the best-in-class brands with an elegant showroom that caters to the greater Los Angeles area,” she says. “I dreamed of opening a showroom like The Luxury Kitchen for quite some time and have turned my vision into a reality.”

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Sherry is an alumna of the USC Marshall School of Business. She has more than two decades of experience in top-tier kitchen appliances, previously serving as a territory manager for Sub-Zero Group in Southern California, working on prestigious multi-unit projects such as the Roosevelt in Downtown LA and Montage Residences in Beverly Hills.  

Sherry is a proud working mother who enjoys cooking for her family. “I have always wanted to help set trends and change the way women are seen in the business world,” she says. “As a child, I was shaped by the resilience of my immigrant/refugee parents. From a young age, my mother encouraged me to be independent and stand firmly on my own two feet.”

As a leader in the kitchen appliance industry, Sherry fosters a sense of community where genuine human connections are as paramount as best-in-class luxury brands. To facilitate meaningful relationships, The Luxury Kitchen offers monthly happy hours and other to-the-trade events, where design professionals can gather and interact in a friendly and welcoming space.
