As Production & Export Manager at a historic 180-year-old Bordeaux winery, I managed the production of three successful vintages across an 18.5-hectare vineyard. I represented the winery in export sales throughout Asian markets and led the company’s presence at major international exhibitions, including ProWein and Vinexpo. My efforts contributed to increased brand recognition and expanded export volumes.

At a leading Bordeaux wine merchant, I specialized in sales of Bordeaux's top Grand Cru Classé wines, focusing on the Asian market. I successfully opened the UAE market for the company and generated significant sales in Vietnam, Singapore, and Indonesia, driving brand growth and expanding the company's international presence.
