      Head of Wine

      eWibe is a start-up that has developed a marketplace for buying, selling and collecting fine wines. eWibe aims to become the most trusted technology platform for wine enthusiasts, collectors and investors. The service is based on three main components: a 24/7 live market, personalized advisory services, and storage facilities. The buying and selling process is determined by the principles of supply and demand. The proprietary algorithm tracks the market price of each bottle, providing an up-to-date quotation. Bottles traded in the marketplace, sourced from wineries and accredited wine merchants, are stored under optimal conditions to maintain their quality and value over time.As Head of Wine, I am able to combine my business expertise with specialist product knowledge. One of my primary responsibilities is to lead the Personal Wine Advisory Service, which provides bespoke investment advice and personalised guidance in the fine wine sector. I coordinate sales activities in both portfolio management and direct sales. I work with the Operations department to manage business partners including wineries and wine merchants and I supervise the listing on the platform to improve the wine selection and catalogue of offers. Furthermore, I organise and run wine tasting events for key clients. Alongside the Marketing department, I am responsible for creating copy and content related to fine wines for articles, guides, newsletters, landing pages, observatory and social media. Finally, I work with the CEO and other co-founders to develop and implement the strategic and business plans of the company. Show less
