2023 Wine Star Awards Nominees Announced
NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Magdalena Pesce–the first female CEO of Wines of Argentina, the entity responsible for the Vino Argentino brand in the world–has been nominated by Wine Enthusiast for the Person of the Year award. This year marks the 24th anniversary of Wine Enthusiast’s Wine Star Awards honoring the individuals and companies that make outstanding contributions to the wine and alcohol beverage world.
In January 2021, Magdalena Pesce became the first female CEO of Wines of Argentina. Combining motherhood with her professional career, Magdalena is a powerful driving force ensuring the organization’s ongoing commitment to create an egalitarian, sustainable and inclusive culture in the world of wine, while also highlighting the immense contribution women are making to the progression of Argentine wine.
“As a professional woman in the Argentine wine industry, being nominated for Wine Enthusiast’s Person of the Year fills me with excitement,” expressed Magdalena. “This recognition not only highlights my work and that of my team at Wines of Argentina, but also underscores our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and sustainability”
Magdalena has a degree in International Relations and after several years cultivating an enriching experience abroad in the UK, Spain and China, she returned to Argentina in 2009 and started her career at Wines of Argentina. She started as an area manager for different countries including the US, Canada and Brazil, then became the head of marketing & communications, where she was responsible for generating strategies and actions for the positioning of the Argentine wine brand in the world.
In the academic field, she has worked as a professor in several careers related to wine marketing and has been invited by universities, institutions and organizations to give lectures and conferences, including presentations at the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo (Mendoza), Stanford University, Georgetown University and the OENOVITI International Symposium, among others. She is also a member of the League of Intrapreneurs and the BMW Herbert Quandt Foundation’s network of Responsible Leaders, together with 19 other Latin American leaders.
In December 2021, she was chosen as one of the “50 most influential women in the world of wine” by the Women in Wine & Spirits Award in the “branding and marketing” category for the entity’s Corporate Social Responsibility practices. She was also named ambassador of the Argentina Country Brand, a recognition granted by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of the Nation, for her work to position Argentine wine internationally.
Wines of Argentina has been promoting the wines and tastemakers of the region since 1993, and Magdalena as the leader of the institution has implemented programs aligned with three main pillars that reaffirm why the region is unsurpassed: innovation & diversity, prestige, sustainability.
The natural environment in Argentina’s geography is conducive to sustainable wine production. In this direction Wines of Argentina launched Sustenta-Vitis, a Comprehensive Sustainability Program For Vino Argentino seeking to promote sustainable growth and job creation by supporting the transition towards a low carbon economy, efficient in the use of resources and more circular in Latin America.
The organization also launched the Women of Argentina program whose commitment is to take decisive action to advance equal opportunities in the workplace, the marketplace and the community, concentrating its efforts on developing strategies for gender equality, and has served as an agent of change for a sustainable and inclusive culture in the world of wine. In 2021, Wines of Argentina adhered to the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), becoming thus the first wine trade body to do so.
Magdalena believes that it is their responsibility to communicate not only the terroir, but also the values of respect and care towards all people involved. “This nomination is a testament to the crucial role that women play in the Argentine wine industry,” said Magdalena. “I receive it with humility and gratitude, and dedicate it to my team and to all the women who, like me, work tirelessly to make Argentine wine a benchmark of inclusion and sustainability.”
Wines of Argentina is also proud to announce the other Argentine personalities and wineries that have been nominated by Wine Enthusiast for the 2023 Wine Star Awards: Patricia Ortiz (Owner, Tapiz, Zolo and Wapisa) as “Wine Executive of the Year”, Juan Pablo Murgia (Technical Director, Grupo Avinea) as “Winemaker of the Year” and Antigal Winery as “New World Winery of the Year.” See full list of 2023 Nominees here.

This significant grant, decided by The Wise Daughters Council, a diverse committee of women leaders, demonstrates Daughters for Earth’s commitment to democratizing philanthropy. “Just because we have access to funds, does not mean we have the best knowledge on how best to give it and to whom. Here at Daughters For Earth we trust the wisdom and the expertise of indigenous women, youth leaders, conservationists, and scientists who dedicated their lives to climate solutions and the protection of biodiversity to be the philanthropic decision makers on how best to increase funding and support to women-led climate actions,” said Zainab Salbi, Co-Founder of Daughters for Earth.
Recognizing the positive impact of mobilizing women globally, The Hummingbird Effect was inspired by the African fable, I Will Be a Hummingbird by Wangari Maathai. The campaign has many engaging elements including the launch of the graphic novel series, a puzzle, fine jewelry in collaboration with Surya and the Moon, and an interactive avatar on DaughtersforEarth.org. Registering on the non-profit’s site grants free access to the new graphic novel series that can be used as a source of inspiration and tools for learning about science based solutions in simple ways.
Participating in the movement, Jiggy Puzzles offers a 500-piece #TheHummingbirdEffect Puzzle featuring artwork by Daughters for Earth’s graphic novel cover artist, Farah Brightart, priced at $40 with proceeds supporting the cause.
Daughters for Earth also partnered with Surya and the Moon, a fine jewelry brand founded by Sneha Calarese and Keri Clavin. Together with Jaipur-based artisans, they’ve crafted a limited edition 18k gold collection inspired by hummingbirds. It includes a single gold stud, enamel earrings with white sapphires, and a hand-painted medallion with blue sapphires. Fifty percent of proceeds benefit Daughters for Earth, exclusively at Greenwich St. Jewelers and SuryaandtheMoonJewels.com.
By continuing to champion women’s pivotal role in climate actions, the nonprofit has expanded their impact globally to funding projects in additional countries such as Argentina, Ecuador, Indonesia, Nigeria, Suriname, Philippines, and Vietnam along with Ecuador, Indonesia, Kenya, Uganda, the US, the UK and many more.
About Daughters for Earth:
Daughters For Earth is a fund and a movement that is focused on funding and celebrating women-led efforts to protect and preserve the earth and provide tools to mobilize women worldwide to be part of climate actions. The approach is supported by scientific research spearheaded by Daughters for Earth’s partner, One Earth.
Since its inception in March 2022, Daughters for Earth has already funded 103 women-led climate actions with a particular focus on preservation of land and water, protection of wild animals and regenerative agriculture.

In recent years, more emphasis has been put on the importance of promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in the workplace, but the tech industry, along with other STEM fields, still has a long way to go in becoming a more equitable workforce. In addition to the bias and discrimination that still exist, a lack of access to opportunity, support and networks within the tech field, racial wage gaps, poverty, systemic inequalities, and even disparities in reliable internet access are all barriers to entry for potentially talented individuals.
“The tech industry, which prides itself on agility, has failed to move the needle on workplace diversity in any substantial way. It’s important to create pathways for more diverse talent to get involved in tech. While tech training programs and bootcamps can help alleviate some barriers by potentially costing less and being quicker than the typical four-year degree, many can still be expensive and do not adequately target underrepresented groups for recruitment,” said CEO of Humantelligence, Juan Betancourt.
As one of the most awarded Hispanic tech founders of 2022-23, Juan launched Humantelligence in 2016, taking a new approach to one-to-one and team communication, collaboration and inclusion. Humantelligence’s Smarter Collaboration is now an AI-driven technology designed to increase human connection and make work feel more human. Humantelligence’s fast growth and potential to scale into a unicorn was the reason why Endeavor.org accepted Humantelligence into its accelerator program, ScaleUp.
In addition to its ease of use, quick implementation, and ability to optimize collaboration for remote and hybrid teams, Humantelligence uses generative AI to surface personalized communication insights in the tools organizations use every day: Microsoft Teams®, Outlook®, Gmail®, Zoom®, Webex®, Slack® and calendars. Every email is optimized, and every meeting can be more productive — leading to better individual, team, and leader performance.
Humantelligence is used by Fortune 500 companies, including Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages, BASF, UnitedHealthcare Group, Accenture and Honda, to improve team performance and communication, foster inclusion and belonging, and drive meeting effectiveness — while maximizing investment in their current communication tools.
“If our economy is to thrive and innovation is to grow, we need increased representation on the top floor, in upper management. For that to happen, we have to determine the conditions that enable such inclusion—the patterns and characteristics that make success possible. That means starting learning programs in elementary schools, building mentorship programs across communities that serve to empower Hispanics and other minorities to advance their career opportunities, holding companies to their diversity goals, and building workplace technology that actually enables the inclusion and belonging of everyone.”
It’s important to remember this during Hispanic Heritage month and throughout the year because it will take all of us—corporate leaders, investors, innovators, and citizens—working together to shape a more inclusive, diverse, and better-performing society.

About the Harlem Wizards: Howie Davis was a larger-than-life entrepreneur, impresario, promoter, and visionary whose passion for sports, entertainment, and philanthropy culminated with his creation of the Harlem Wizards in 1962.
The idea for the Wizards started in 1959, when legendary basketball showman Goose Tatum approached Howie to organize a tour for Goose’s “Harlem Stars.” The Stars had a short but successful run that opened Howie’s eyes to the enormous potential of “show” basketball. Three years later, Howie launched the Wizards.
Under Howie’s leadership, the Wizards grew into a choice basketball destination for some of America’s best basketball talent. As the team’s reputation spread, professional athletes from across the sports spectrum took notice and joined the Wizards’ roadshow:
NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor, World Series MVP Donn Clendennon, and Harlem Globetrotter superstar Marques Haynes also played for the Wizards.
Tojo Henderson a Wizards great holds the world record for career span in professional basketball. He started in 1965 and retired 50 years later in 2015. He still serves in a promotional capacity with the Wizards.
Howie was a champion of racial equality, and viewed the Wizards as a vehicle to provide economic opportunity to African Americans. He even was the first to break the color barrier with a football team playing in North Carolina.
Today’s Wizards roster features an all-star lineup of master basketball showmen, including:
The Wizards field four travelling squads which collectively will play over 500 games throughout the US and abroad during the 2017-18 season.
Since Howie Davis founded the Wizards 56 years ago, the team has undergone tremendous change. Howie’s son Todd and grandson Rick now run the operation, fundraising revenue has grown exponentially, and the team has expanded into new geographic markets.
Through all the changes, the team’s commitment to Howie’s original mission has remained constant: to deliver world-class family-friendly entertainment while raising money for great causes.

NMSN chose Ms. Hill to receive this prestigious honor in recognition of her significant contributions to the mission success of the U.S. Navy through her distinguished career in the defense industry. Throughout her 36 years with global aerospace and defense technology company Lockheed Martin, Ms. Hill has directly supported many vital U.S. naval weapons systems programs. She has also demonstrated a noteworthy commitment to uplifting others as a mentor and tireless advocate for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and other philanthropic programs that empower people from all backgrounds to succeed personally and professionally.
“VADM Gravely had an extraordinary career of selfless service to our country,” said Ms. Hill. “He has served as an inspiration for generations of sailors and civilians alike, including me. Thank you to the leadership of the NMSN for this incredible honor, and for keeping VADM Gravely’s remarkable legacy alive.”
