This week we are joined by Jules Ouroumis who is currently employed as the Brand Specialist for Flor De Cana Rum. Jules is originally from the Greater Toronto Area and joins the show this week from Pickering, Ontario. Before Jules discovered the world of fine wine and spirits, Jules played hockey for Brock University.
Jules started her career when she graduated from Brock University and moved out west to British Columbia. Jules landed a job at arguably one of the most beautiful wineries in Canada, Mission Hill. Jules started as a Sommelier/Server at their fine dining restaurant ‘The Terrace’. Jules quickly fell in love with sales and the Industry itself as she eventually became a territory manager for the Mark Anthony Group. Jules also continued with positions in Key Accounts and Territory Management.
Jules career has taken her to Whistler, Kelowna, Vancouver and Toronto. She has represented brands such as Moet & Chandon, Rodney Strong, Veuve Cliquot, Buffalo Trace and Hennessey. Jules has sold the range from fine wines to that bourbon that should be on your bar cart - she has sold it all!
Several years ago while on a backpacking trip to Nicaragua, Jules discovered Flor De Cana Rum - one of the most sustainable rum brands on the planet! When an opportunity eventually arose to work with Flor De Cana Rum - Jules jumped at the chance and has not looked back since. Jules loves to talk about all things Flor De Cana - make sure you check her out at one of her many upcoming Flor De Cana appearances at an establishment near you!
