With a strong foundation in sales, brand development, and strategic marketing, I bring a results-driven mindset and a passion for driving growth in the wine and spirits industry.My experience includes managing key retail accounts, executing Direct Store Delivery (DSD) strategies, optimizing shelf presence, and leading high-impact in-store activations—particularly in major grocery and specialty retail environments.I\'ve had the opportunity to work with a broad range of core and premium brands, supporting both established labels and new-to-market suppliers. I focus on building strong store-level relationships, increasing brand visibility, and delivering measurable results that support long-term success.Known for being a self-starter, I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments that demand adaptability, initiative, and strategic thinking. Whether launching new products, elevating brand presence, or exceeding sales targets, I approach every opportunity with energy, purpose, and a forward-thinking mindset.More than just getting the job done—I’m committed to doing it with excellence, integrity, and lasting impact.
