Wine strategy is business strategy. The decisions that make a wine program work, pricing discipline, supply planning, margin management, staff systems, are the same decisions that make any business work.

Carpa Vino is built around a proven system, not a single person’s availability. Where engagements require additional support, I work with a curated network of wine and business professionals selected for each engagement. The standard is always Carpa Vino’s. The capacity scales to what the project requires.
Over the years I have had the privilege of learning directly from and spending time with some of the most rigorous business builders in the world. Joe Foster, who built Reebok from a shed in Bolton into a global brand. Adam Coffey of The Chairman Group, one of North America’s most respected private equity operators. John and Margo Catsimatidis, whose business empire spans energy, retail, and media. JT Foxx, whose network of entrepreneurs spans more than 50 countries.
These are not wine people. That is the point. The discipline they brought to building their businesses is the same discipline I bring to building wine programs. Systems thinking. Margin focus. Scalable structure. A bias toward building things that run without you in the room.
