Summary

Relationship building & customers are indeed the cornerstone of any business and I enjoy working with people. My objectives have always been to be in a position where I can address the need of the customer, the satisfaction of both the company as well as that of the customer. With 15 years’ experience in the wine industry, I have a broad understanding of the industry and customer preferences. However, to maintain a healthy balance between customers and the services that are delivered to them a good administrative backbone is also needed. I have been able to in the past and it is my objective to in future maintain this balance which will enhance business prospects for the company that I am employed with.
