What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my experience in business development and channel expansion across industries, helping companies grow their partner networks and enter new markets.

At Ethica Wines North America & Asia Pacific, I manage distributor relationships and use market trends, sales performance, and account insights to identify gaps in channel coverage. I develop strategies for the Asian customer segment and grow new accounts across on- and off-premise channels.

Earlier at Ethica Wines North America & Asia Pacific, I supported OCM and trade marketing activities, campaign planning, and market research. My work across China, Italy, and the United States, along with fluency in Chinese, English, and Italian, informs how I build commercial partnerships and understand markets.
