Topic: Cuban Rum Moments Guest: Audrey Hands - Havana Club Global Brand Ambassador What You'll Learn: Every week, TheRumLab features a member of Women Leading Rum in our newsletter to thousands of rum aficionados. Now, you'll be able to ask each featured member questions live and learn from their experiences in rum! This week lets talk about Havana Club Cuban Rum About Audrey Hands Half French, half English, I grew up in London and started working in hospitality from the age of 15, gaining experience in this sector in London, Italy and Australia; I was fortunate to be able to combine my passions for travel (cultures & languages of the world) and bartending (working with ingredients and people at all times). After graduating in Hispanic and Portuguese studies in King’s College London, my interest grew vastly in Latin spirits, specializing in Rum and Tequila. My expertise was strengthened when I joined Pernod Ricard in 2014 as a brand ambassador in Australia, the following year I joined Havana Club International to work on the brand internationally. As Havana Club Global Brand Ambassador, I focus on building awareness of Cuban rum via communication, events and education, market planning and trade advocacy strategy. I´m working closely with bartenders and entrepreneurs in the industry, collaborating with bars around the world.

Self-starter, explorer, rum aficionado. Challenges drive me. I have been based in NY since summer 2019 to support HSE growth within the US. Even though I am only 23 years old, I have decided to enter the industry 5 years ago. I graduated from the wine and spirits management program at KEDGE business school in Bordeaux and have the WSET 3 in wine. I find in wine and spirit a certain type of unmeasured treasure – the beauty of transmission from a generation to another, the know-how and traditions combined with innovation. I also love how close spirit production and history are related. You learn about spirits, you learn about a country.
