Claudio Gallardo

Sales Director & Event Coordinator

Originally from Quito, Ecuador, Claudio has called the U.S. home since the age of 12. Though trained in engineering, his true calling has always been in sales and customer connection.

With over two decades of experience, Claudio began his career at Limited Brands, rising from part-time stock associate to management through his relentless work ethic and natural leadership. After achieving his goals in fashion retail, he transitioned to wine and spirits distribution—a move that sparked a deep appreciation for wine (with a little help from Perrine).

Today, as Sales Director at PERRINE's WINE, Claudio oversees sales strategy, marketing, and customer experience across all locations. He also leads the planning and execution of our signature events, blending organization with hospitality to bring our community together around wine.

Claudio is proud to work alongside his wife Perrine, building a family-run business they can pass on to the next generation. Outside of work, he’s a devoted father to their two children and an avid soccer fan who never misses a match when his favorite teams are on the field.

In his words, “Working for a growing company is a beautiful journey—you get to shape its future while growing alongside it.”
