Mui will have a team of professionals supporting her in this endeavour, the release adds, and will be based in Hong Kong. She is the former COO of Asia Wine Service & Education Centre (AWSEC), the first program provider in Asia for WSG, and brings 15 years of wine education experience with her in this new role.
“As school COO and instructor, Corinne has been part of the WSG family for years. She has a comprehensive understanding of the WSG programs and embodies the core values of the Wine Scholar Guild: being inclusive, student-centric and academically rigorous,” states WSG founder and president Julien Camus.
“Her exceptional familiarity with wine education in Asia will be invaluable in developing the reach of WSG programs and supporting our existing network of program providers in Asia.”
WSG is a global organisation with close to 100 program providers spanning across 40 countries. In the last 3 years, Asia has been the fastest growing market for WSG programs with partner schools located in places like China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Thailand.
