Originally from Medellín, Colombia, Claudia attended business school in Mexico City. After moving to Mendoza with her Argentine husband, Claudia knew she wanted to work in the wine industry, which to her was an industry that "connects the deepest roots on earth and extends its arms to the most diverse people and places around the world."

Her prior experience with renowned Argentine wineries shaped her deep commitment to the industry, and she now plays a key role in promoting Argentine wine worldwide as VP for Wines of Argentina.
