The Top 100 Most Influential List by Australian Bartender Magazine has been revealed, a bi-annual list of the Australian bar industry’s movers and shakers who over the last two year period have influenced the bar industry.
This year, members of the bar industry were asked to nominate the one person they believe is influencing the industry. It is a great honour for me to be named in the Top 100 Most Influential List 2019 in Australia for the fourth time in a row – since 2013 – to be amongst bartenders, bar owners, bar managers, brand ambassadors and writers and party-starters who are credited for leading the way, inspiring and shaping the future of the industry.
The Top 10 Most Influential List will be announced during Sydney Bar Week on Sunday 15 September at the exclusive invite-only Most Influential List Party.
