I am making sure the supply of goods is adequate to match current sales and sales growth; I analyze market sales data, competitive positioning and key performance indicators in our distribution, while also evaluating profitability, trends in the market and new products development.

Similar to the previous- the aim of the position is to grow the on premise business in New York City for high end Italian Wines - plus to develop a team of 4 Italian Specialists.

This Importer of French Wines had branched out in importing and distributing a collection of Italian estates and I am promoting these wines in the Manhattan on premise area.* Three portfolios are here represented: - Monsier Touton Selection is aimed at finding good price/quality ratio in traditional appellations. - Farello Wines is a collection of small, estate bottled wineries that craft top quality (regardless of price), sometimes organic. - WineWave is innovative in searching new and upcoming production areas where these properties are rising starts and leaders in quality. * Our goal is to find distribution and appreciation for these products among Manhattan's restaurateurs. * My experience in this market makes sure that the promoting effort will be cost effective and productive. * My experience in developing business and creating new ventures is a great help to start this project.

Cultivating the NYC market for a nice importer and distributor of traditional boutique Italian wine estates. This experience led me to understand the necessity of small brands to create a unique image and a personal, intimate connection with their customers.

I was in charge of the relationships between the Italian, Spanish and South American brands and the New York on-premise market.Through a division of 8 Sales Reps my goal was to increase the sales volumes and values, including expanding the current distribution. Also thank to me the team had a good year but my position came short of my expectations; I then decided to move on and focus more on off-the-beaten track wines.

Managing the brand portfolio (50 and more international wine estates) within the key accounts in New York City. Being a Italian and German wines specialist, I develop marketing plans and activities to build strong brands.
