Brand Director

Folio Fine Wine Partners is a full-service importer and marketing agency that manages a collection of exceptional wines produced by families with generations of winemaking experience. Our goal is to become the preeminent purveyor of the finest wines from the world's premier and emerging wine regions.

I am an international wine sales and marketing professional with over 20 years of experience in all facets of the wine business. Being 10th generation in a long line of wine making tradition, I’ve been fortunate enough to be immersed in the wine business since a very early age – getting hands-on experience in the vineyards, harvest, working in the cellars and bottling. For the past 15 years , my career has focused on wine sales, marketing, new brand/category introductions, building/managing distributor networks all while maintaining a keen focus on enhancing brand equity. My unique cultural heritage (French father, Chilean mother, born in USA) and ability to speak fluent French and Spanish (and basic Italian) – has helped me gain an in-depth understanding of European and South American cultures. I’ve been able to apply this awareness along with my educational background and deep wine knowledge to nearly every position I’ve held. I’m energized working with both foreign and domestic winery suppliers – appreciating their side of the business while literally speaking their language and ensuring core messages on wines are properly communicated to the sales force, distributors and media. Having spent the past 12 years managing imported wine portfolios as well as building and managing 25+ state distributor networks, my approach has been one of relationship-building, collaboration, creativity and execution.
