WTI LLC ., New York, NY – Assistant Controller 1/2012 to 9/2016 6/18 to Present

Established a corporation for the importation and sale of wines into the Tri State Metropolitan Area in 1997. The premise behind the creation of this firm was that most small and medium size vineyards around the world, known as “boutique vineyards”, had no access to the USA market as their production was insufficient to attract important importers. Filed the necessary legal documents with the federal government to obtain a import license. Databases were created to track and organize potential vineyards interested in exporting to the US market. The sample were evaluated with contacts in the restaurant industry and selections were made based on their qualifying reviews. I successfully introduced some 50 wineries and their wines to the New York restaurant market( $500,000). Wines from France, Australia, Italy, and Spain.
