It’s been just over 5 months since Dean Taylor officially joined Digital Wine Ventures as Chief Executive Officer. A digital pioneer and start-up veteran with seven successful wine ventures under his belt including Cracka Wines, Wine Ark and My Wine Guy, Dean has wasted no time in laying his mark on the company giving it a new name, new vision, new business plan and relocating the head office to his home town of Sydney.
“It’s been an incredibly exciting and busy first few months for me, as we lay out the foundations required to support both DW8 and the WINEDEPOT business. What’s been most encouraging is the response and support received from colleagues in the wine industry, who are just as excited about the platform and end-to-end logistics solution that we are bringing to market both here in Australia and China.”
“Whilst my focus now is clearly on rolling out the WINEDEPOT business, the board and I will continue to look for other strategic acquisitions that can be vertically integrated with our existing asset base, allowing them to leverage our infrastructure, technology, access to capital and relationships to scale their businesses more rapidly”
The Directors are confident that Mr. Dean Taylor, who has over 20 years’ experience in the wine industry and a history of successful start-ups, with first to market ideas, is one of the most credentialed wine executives in Australia and ideal to lead Digital Wine Ventures as it transforms into a diversified company servicing the $300 billion global wine industry.
