In 2009, Jerry founded ARQ Spirits that provides contract Sales, Marketing, Business Development and Channel Management services to emerging Craft, Specialty and Luxury Wine and Spirits Companies. He collaborates with corporate leadership to structure go-to-market programs aimed at increasing revenue with import, wholesale and retail business partners and will augment their existing team or solely represent the company to support defined business objectives.
Most recently he started Barbera Imports, a company that helps artisanal brands navigate the complicated and challenging three-tier system in the US. With the steady rise in demand for craft-products, the company has filled a void by creating an import platform that provides craft distillers and winemakers an efficient and cost effective route to market. Ultimately, the company strives to create successful partnerships and to do so, uses a collaborative approach that is fully transparent without affixing any false expectations.
