Ana lobo is a brand development manager for Altamar Brands and New York Bartender:
My passion for hospitality stems from my cultural background and family. Growing up in the Midwest and the South as a first generation American from a Brazilian family, it was inherent that the best of times started with a conversation and sharing something good to eat and drink. Shortly after moving to New York to study international business and environmental conservation I became tied to hospitality and eventually started my first bar management position at the age of 21. Food and beverage ignited my curiosity to travel around the world, and so after 4 years in New York I spent the next 3 years traveling and working in Brazil, Australia, Southeast Asia and Europe. Returning to New York after my travels allowed me to see the city again with a new perspective. Working in some trailblazing and historical venues provided a closer relationship with products and ingredients, peaking my interest to move into brands. I am now proud to work with people and products that not only share my interest in quality and transparency but also mirror exciting times in the creative regeneration and environmentally conscious movements surrounding hospitality in New York.
