About Me

Programs, analysis & collaborations

A global perspective with a decade of experience in auction economics and 15 years of fine wine sales.

Fine Wine Expertise & Sales Strategy

  • My wine expertise spans on-premise wine direction including purchasing, staff-training, pairing and design, extensive experience with cult California producers, classed Bordeaux, Burgundy grand crus, and regular sales of rare icons like DRC, Leroy, Le Pin, and Petrus. I advise clients on vintages, pricing, and provenance, secure high‑value sales, facilitating logistics for interstate/international shipments with clear expectations and forecasting.

Data Analytics, Systems Design & Operations Efficiency

  • Bringing a data‑driven mindset to operational challenges, I enjoy building data models and forecast algorithms, and work with developers to troubleshoot relational systems. I also built a full CRM suite using Microsoft PowerPlatform and SharePoint. These tools streamline workflows, prevent bottlenecks, and support the management of hundreds of high‑value client deliverables each week.

Pentalingual Global Perspective

  • My background is deeply international — I’ve lived or worked in several countries, majored in international relations, and developed proficiencies ranging from conversational to fluent in over 5 languages. This global perspective helps me connect naturally with people from diverse cultures and communicate with nuance and purpose. I have been a proponent of simulated immersion for language learning since 2022.

Client Relationship Management

  • I work closely with clients across all levels of wine knowledge, offering clear communication, structured guidance, and a calm, professional presence that reduces anxiety and sets realistic expectations. My goal is always to make complex processes feel intuitive and manageable. I deliver consistent throughput of focused, high impact information using a rolodex of templates as well as a number of data automation implementations.
