i. Biography
Tone Veseth Furuholmen’s work sits where language, commerce and wine meet. The technical side of that mix started in Italy, where she spent five years studying interpreting and translation at the University of Perugia. That period gave her more than academic training: it built the cultural fluency and sensitivity to nuance that later shaped how she moved through wine markets and institutions.
The Climb
Training at the University of Perugia, BI Norwegian Business School, and Harvard University gave Tone Veseth Furuholmen a footing across language, business and international perspective. Interpreting and translation brought precision; business study added commercial structure; Harvard University widened the frame. The result was a professional base suited to work that depends on exact language, market discipline and cross-border context. The first entry point into the sector was trade analysis at the Italian Trade Commission in Oslo, where commercial exchange and regulation were part of the daily work. From there, Wine Import at Vinordia brought her closer to the product and to the practical demands of a market shaped by timing, compliance and demand. Moving on to Managing Director at Symposium Wines added leadership to that commercial background. Since 2016, Tone has been Senior Product Manager at Vinmonopolet, a role that places her at the centre of product decisions. Those roles extend the same core skill set into teaching, evaluation and editorial work.
Today
Since 2016, Tone Veseth Furuholmen has held the Senior Product Manager role at Vinmonopolet, continuing a career built through analysis, import, leadership and interpretation of wine. The line running through it is clear: international training, commercial experience and close attention to language have all been part of the same working method. The point of continuity is Italy, where five years in Perugia while studying interpreting and translation at the University of Perugia gave shape to her approach. Across Vinmonopolet, Culinary Academy of Oslo, Decanter World Wine Awards, jancisrobinson.com and Vinbladet, Tone Veseth Furuholmen has kept moving between institution, market and media without leaving the technical demands of wine behind.
