KATHARINA LESHIKAR
Katharina hails from one of Austria's most prestigious tourist regions, where she was immersed in both traditional Austrian hospitality and the world of luxury service from a young age. After completing her education, she embarked on a successful career in legal and finance across Europe before making an exciting move to the Cayman Islands. After taking the first wine class there was no holding back and by now she has almost finished her WSET Diploma and is planing on applying for the extremely prestigious Master of Wine Program next spring.
Katharina's strong management skills, honed in her previous career, quickly proved invaluable as she took on the role of Operational Director for Wineschool3 Caribbean, overseeing operations in over 40 countries across the Caribbean and Central America. Despite her demanding role, Katharina's true passion lies in teaching and inspiring the next generation of Sommeliers and Service Professionals.
For Katharina, wine is far more than just fermented grape juice—it's a captivating world of excitement and wonder, filled with endless discovery and fascination.
