Background

About Will E.

I've started a new career path with the Veterans Administration. After just ten months with the VA, I've applied for and was chosen for an assignment with greater and expanded responsibilities. I currently work as a AMSA for Community Care, assisting Veterans with the care they deserve. As a side 'hustle' I've started a small business as the owner of the brand spanking new Cuvée Corner Media and Communications Company. While I had previously worked for the VONS corporation as a Wine Steward [buyer] at one of their flagship stores, and having in the past worked for Bird Rock Fine Wine; it is in these positions which have greatly equipped and prepared me for the bright future which lies ahead. Whether that is in the wine and spirits business or in the health care industry. I have had the opportunity to share my passion for wine and spirits with many customers on a retail level, where my position's buyer autonomy drives sales. Am I Social Media savvy? I could teach a clinic on how to get brands noticed. I was a large part of the driving force behind the continuation of Twitter-driven #WineChat and a co-creator of the #WineStudio concept which is still running strong at Protocol Wine Studio. Here's what you should know; colleagues and supervisors alike, find that I'm skilled in cultivating positive relationships with clients and colleagues. That I'm particularly adept at communicating with clarity and diplomacy to individuals from diverse cultural and organizational backgrounds Further, I am a person known for enthusiasm, persistence, and follow-through. A skill built on a multitude of experiences to enable the fostering of collaborative sales relationships. I’ve published a plethora of articles on the Cuvee Corner. A media site I created in 2008, it is a site that is well known for extolling the virtues of wine culture, tourism, and travel and associated 'foodie' related adventures.* Solid background in the wine and spirits SALES world, an experience formed through educational pursuits and associated personal experiences via tastings, tours, and extensive wine-related-travel.
