About

I helped scale brands like Pumori Gin, Woodburns Whisky, and Segredo Aldeia Rum — all of which were born at Fullarton Distilleries and are now part of the Allied Blenders & Distillers portfolio. I believe that brand value is created through systems, not just slogans. That flavor is a frontier we’ve barely begun to explore. And that distribution is the unsexy truth behind every cult product. Now focused on R&D strategy, global collaborations, and identifying white spaces in premium spirits — from Indian bitters to native agave. Always open to conversations with founders, flavorists, mixologists, and misfits shaping the next wave of Indian alcobev.
