In 2004, Elizabeth undertook her MBA, specialising in the wine industry and this led to several high-profile roles in the UK industry. These included managing both generic promotional campaigns (e.g. Australia, Beaujolais, Rioja Alavesa) and global brands (e.g. Robert Mondavi, Australia’s First Families).
Fluent in Spanish, Elizabeth also brings a fastidious attention to detail alongside her experience in all aspects of wine marketing & communications.
