For fifteen years, Vorarlberg-born Stephanie Artner lived in North America, where she joined Lufthansa in New York in 2007 and subsequently held positions at the UN and the Austrian Trade Commission (ATC). At the ATC, she gained comprehensive experience managing wine marketing campaigns and tasting events for the Austrian Wine Marketing Board and simultaneously built up an impressive network with the US trade and sommelier community. From 2017 to July 2021, she was a senior manager at Somm360, an educational sommelier platform in Montreal. This fall she relocated back to Vienna where she joins Sylvia Petz as a cooperation partner now. Together with her, she designs events with international sommeliers for European winemakers. "I am very happy about my new colleague," says Sylvia Petz. "A partnership in the agency is in the planning stage, it's just more fun with two!" Stephanie Artner also comments: "Sylvia's professionalism, her focus on sustainability, and coherent exclusive client base have always impressed me. It's nice to be part of it now." On the website sylvia-petz.at, she writes a regular column about her experience in the international wine industry; to kick things off, renowned sommeliers take a look at the European cool climate wines.
