I’m a sales leader with 10+ years driving revenue growth, coaching teams, and expanding luxury wine markets.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-oriented Sales Manager and sales leader with 10+ years of success driving revenue growth, leading top-performing sales teams, and expanding market reach in competitive territories. I focus on luxury wine & spirits, key account development, and market expansion that translates into measurable performance.
In my current role as Western Region Manager at August Imports, I grew Western region sales by 24% YoY through customer loyalty and distribution expansion. I also created a CRM-based forecasting model aligning sales goals with corporate strategy, and increased profit margins 28% through pricing strategy and brand visibility campaigns.
I’ve consistently scaled outcomes through both strategy and people leadership—recruiting and mentoring a team of 10+ sales reps and exceeding sales KPIs. Previously, as National Sales Manager at Esprit de Champagne USA, I boosted case sales from 235 to 1,750+ in 18 months while increasing average pricing by 28%, using CRM insights to refine sales strategy and drive 25% revenue growth.
My experience extends across territory management, wholesale partner development, and training programs that improve sales productivity and retention. From serving as Director of Sales and General Manager & Beverage Director to managing P&L accountability and high-performance service culture, I bring a cross-functional approach that strengthens customer engagement, retention, and long-term brand growth.
