Wine Education, Hospitality Management & Digital Transformation
​An educated & experienced leader that can help your organization meet the lofty challenges of the modern business world.
Graduate of the CORe Business Program at Harvard Business School
The world is evolving rapidly, and the ways in which the next generation of employees consumes information are transforming just as quickly. For hospitality operators, one of the most significant challenges over the next decade will be identifying innovative methods to effectively engage and reach this new generation of team members.
I developed Somm.Site as a complete education package for hospitality organizations.
With years of experience developing education programs in the hospitality industry, I’ve seen firsthand what works—and what doesn’t—within some of the largest corporations. This project is my answer to those insights, combining my expertise in wine, technology, and teaching to create a resource that elevates industry knowledge and skill.
I wanted to create an educational experience that gives you all of the information that other programs give you, for a fraction of the price. With certifications and classes by other organizations costing thousands of dollars, one has to ask if those organizations have their students best interest in mind.
