Bio
In 2010, set up a wine import-export company (SPRL) with my wife and a couple of friends. I developed the business through tasting evenings, open-door days, trade shows, Internet sales, e-mail marketing & word of mouth. I set up an impressive mailing list.
Once retired, I continued up to 2019 as "Dépôt-vente" (volonteer help to family wineries, at their selling prices). In 2021, I bought my own small vineyard in Morgon (climat Douby) - Beaujolais!
Member/Associate/Partner/Shareholder in different "GFV's (Château La Prade/Pessac-Léognan, Clos St Jean + Domaine Royer/Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cave de Tain l'Hermitage, Champagne 1er Cru Alain Rondeau)".
I'm now a Happy vineyard owner, retired "caviste" & Marcom Executive!
For 35 years before that, I developed and implemented, in international environments & in close cooperation with the top management & business units, the internal & especially external communications of the companies I was working for. Last 20 years with Cabot, at an international position.
