Italian drinks company Bottega has appointed two new area managers to replace Alessandra Piccin, who recently left her position as Export Area Manager Duty Free & Travel Retail in pursuit of a new career.
Valentina Dalle Mule is named Export Area Manager Airlines, tasked with maximising sales and profitability and establishing a customer service package to maintain and increase sales.
She has worked at Dollond & Aitchinson (rebranded as Boots Opticians) and De Rigo Vision, where she was Export Area Manager Boutiques and Duty Free.
Nives Perin, who worked previously at Bottega, is appointed Export Area Manager for Cruise Lines and Duty Free. Her responsibilities include managing the Bottega cruise business globally as well as growing sales in the wider duty free market.
Dalle Mule and Perin join a team of 12 area managers.
Bottega Managing Director Sandro Bottega commented: “We are pleased to bring the new employees on board. Having previously worked as Area Manager in the duty free business, Valentina will bring her extensive knowledge and will help to develop new focus and techniques in our sales department.
“Nives was a valued employee for over 11 years and proved to be an asset to our company in so many ways. We are happy she has re-joined the Bottega family. I have much faith in her ability and expertise to expand our cruise and duty free business.”
