Pamela Wittmann: Founder & Principal

Pamela brings a singular constellation of experience, expertise, and education to her clients. Born in Paris of an American father and French mother, Pamela is at home in both cultures. After studying Chemistry at the University of Paris, she pursued a more soulful application of her studies, researching at the enology laboratory of the Centre Vinicole de la Champagne, and obtaining a National Diploma of Enology from the University of Reims. American winemaking experience came by way of a position as assistant enologist at the Gloria Ferrer Champagne Cellars in Sonoma, CA, where Pamela successfully implemented a system to determine optimum grape harvesting dates.

After being hired in 1991 to represent a prominent Champagne house in New York for Seagram, she rose quickly through the ranks to become Area Manager for the label, where she handled public relations, sales, and trade education in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. She was honored when the brand invited her to become its first woman-winemaking assistant at blending time. In 1996, Pamela became the Export Manager for the entire North American market.

Since then, Pamela has built her career in hospitality public relations in the US, working as Account Director at KB Network News before founding Millissime in 2001.

Since 2001, Millissime has grown in size from a staff of 2 employees to a staff of nearly 10.
