MaryAnn Pisani was one of MHW's earliest employees when they launched their national import and distribution service program in 1995.  Entering on the ground floor in an emerging startup gave her hands-on experience in all facets of the beverage alcohol import business, from compliance to logistics, finance, and global supply chain management. With more than 25 years in the industry, she has helped hundreds of suppliers and thousands of products of all shapes and sizes to successfully navigate the complexity of the U.S. market. It is her range and depth of experience that makes her one of our industry's most knowledgeable women.  She has served on committees for the National Association of Beverage Importers and Distilled Spirits Council. Today she is Chief Revenue Officer, overseeing the departments of Business Development and Client Relations. Prior to this role she was Chief Operating Officer, responsible for a team of 40 specialized logistics and customer service associates. MaryAnn travels extensively on behalf of MHW, meeting with suppliers, partners, and trade organizations around the globe.  She is the proud mom of 4 and the ecstatic grandma of 3.

A proud mom to three kids and two dogs, as well as a primary caregiver for her 85-year-old mom, Helen just celebrated her 20th wedding anniversary and has great perspective to share on work-life balance! Helen got her start as a communications manager for ICEX/Wines from Spain and on the brand management team at Kobrand Corporation, overseeing prestige brands such as Maison Louis Jadot and Champagne Taittinger. She has worked in strategic brand development for industry leaders such as Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, Moët Hennessy USA, Rémy Cointreau, Founders Brewing Co., MGP Ingredients and Constellation Brands; leads multi-annual regional campaigns for the Bordeaux Wine Bureau, Grandes Pagos de España and DO Rias Baixas; and represents dynamic brands such as DAOU Family Estate, MHW, Ltd., The Spearhead Group and Jules Taylor Wines.
