• VP of Finance

Aidan, a former Director of Sponsorships and VP of Finance, currently holds the role of Chain Execution Specialist at GALLO’s Southern California Distributor, Reyes Beverage Group. He works with grocery store companies like Ralph’s, Stater Brothers, and AVP, among others, to distribute a large portfolio of wine and spirits, offering options tailored to customer demographics and the time of year. His experience in AMA helped develop the professional communication skills he uses in his career. 

“I'm having conversations with retailers all day, every day, and I've honed my communication skills through the networking opportunities I had in AMA. Each time we had a guest speaker or company tour, I'd use it as an opportunity to practice conversing with working professionals from all sorts of different companies. The more I connected with those speakers, the more comfortable I got, and now, conversing with my retailers feels like second nature.”

AMA-zing work, Aidan! Thank you for sharing how AMA influenced your career path!
