What I'm looking for
I’m an Export Manager and international trade professional with 10+ years in the wine industry, progressing from Export Assistant to Export Manager. I’m results-oriented and fluent in four languages, with a strong focus on global market performance and cross-cultural communication.
At Ethica Wines, I manage strategic export operations across Europe, CIS countries, and Africa—building and maintaining distributor and client relationships worldwide. I also oversee brand positioning, logistics, contracts, and regulatory compliance, while leading participation in major industry events such as ProWein and Vinitaly to strengthen visibility.
Before my current role, I supported international accounts across regions including APAC, US, Canada, EU, and Mexico. I coordinated customer orders, handled billing/credit notes and financial reconciliation, and managed tenders, sample shipments, and claims resolution—often partnering with cross-functional teams to streamline the supply chain.
