Elke Jamil Email and Phone Number
My entire career has been centered around exports, marketing, brand building and sustainable growth of business. I have chosen to work mainly with wine, as it is a lifestyle product I appreciate and enjoy working with, and have therefore strategically build my CV in various market segments throughout the industry and attempted thus far to work not only in different sized companies, but also in different links of the supply chain to be able to better grasp the industry and enable myself to anticipate & identify opportunities with my broad-based experience in small enterprizes, medium sized wineries, export agencies, international retail companies and to absorb some knowledge extracted from international influences and clients.The objective to work with as many markets as possible, offered exposure to a bird's view of not exclusively the lifestyle (people & relationship management) component of the wine industry, but also optimized on the commercial fascets.My education was finalized at the best institution in South Africa for my chosen career path and provided a good understanding of all departments and sectors on operational and management level.
