Tiina Heinonen

Business Development Manager


Even if my master’s degree is from business law, I have always worked in different marketing positions. First with several FMCG brands before joining the beautiful world of wine. Now it’s been over 16 eventful years in the wine business with a pleasure of having been able to work with many wines and partners around the world. I consider myself an easily approachable and well-organized problem solver who enjoys working with people - and figures!

Nina Jansson

Commercial Director, Vinunic


I have worked within the wine industry and partner business for 20 years now. My expertise area is the alcohol monopolies, and I am happy to have had the opportunity to work with them on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. I build and value long term partnerships and thrive from mutual successes. What drives me the most is to initiate projects, follow them through and see the results come to life. Working with the best partners makes this possible.

Marianne Fincke

Marketing Coordinator


My background is in marketing and communications and I have BA in media production. I coordinate and create promotional materials and help with PR events. There is always a lot on my table and I like it that way - because I’m the queen of everything! I mind about the little details and hate unfinished business. I am very passionate art-lover and I get inspired by innovative design. In my work I like to always emphasize the importance of visual features.
