As a Business Development Manager at Virgin Wines, I work with the UK's leading online wine retailer to establish and grow strategic partnerships with hospitality and leisure businesses. I leverage my outside sales and business development skills to identify and secure new opportunities, negotiate contracts, and manage accounts.Before joining Virgin Wines, I was a Food and Drink Category Manager at Activity Superstore, where I oversaw the operations and performance of over 500 products and experiences across the UK. I increased the revenue and the customer satisfaction in two years, thanks to my creative and adaptive approach to product development, marketing, and quality assurance.I have a passion for all things food and drink, and I enjoy learning about different cuisines, cultures, and trends in the industry. I am also an amateur chef and a foodie, always looking for new recipes and ingredients to try. I am a professional, team player, and a motivated self-starter, who strives to deliver excellence and value to my partners and customers.
