About Natasha

Natasha Badillo
Natasha Badillo joined IWM in 2007, after working for three years in the catering industry and earning a Diploma in Culinary Arts from the French Culinary Institute. Before her entry into the food & wine world, Natasha studied English & Theatre at Princeton University — one might say she began her “wine studies” there as well! Her journey at IWM began in the (then) brand new Cellar Management department, where she helped to build an extensive wine database, developed their web-based cellar tracking software, and earned the singularly mock-able title of “Cellar Master.” She now manages finance and logistics for the company, and a good part of her day is spent attempting to dial international phone numbers (at a 30% success rate) and dividing very large numbers by 12. She is very excited for this chance to exercise her right brain a little more often!
