Upon completion of a Master’s degree from INSEEC Bordeaux, which included a dissertation on the SAQ & the strategic value of Quebec’s wine agencies, I gained international work experience in the fast-paced London market with an independent wine & spirits merchant, SIPP London. This position enabled me to develop both UK industry knowledge and valuable and transferable sector-specific skills. In a Sales and Business Development role, I focused on growth through existing customers and new products as well as through non-traditional channels. Leveraging my effective communication skills, I built and maintained strong working relationships with both clients and colleagues.
