In this episode of Might in Motion with Marianna Kinnee, I share my journey of moving from the world of fintech into building Avid Vines—a company dedicated to importing organic, sustainably crafted French champagnes. With my background in financial technology and dual U.S.–French citizenship, I explain how I combined business strategy with passion to bring clean, low-sulfite champagnes to the U.S. while preserving artisanal quality and protecting the environment.
We also talk about the supply chain strategy behind organic champagne, the leadership lessons I’ve carried from startups across industries, and why I believe every founder needs both a peer group and a circle of trust.
This conversation is close to my heart because it reflects my purpose: building businesses that scale sustainably, honor tradition, and help people savor life’s best moments.
