Dean is an entrepreneur and one of Australia’s digital pioneers who has spent the last twenty years building wine businesses. His first venture, Wine Ark – an off-site climate-controlled storage for wine collectors – was the first company of its kind in the world to provide their customers with online access to their collections, and later sold for $8.5 million. He then leveraged technology to launch Wine Exchange, an online trading platform; The Cellar Club, a premium wine club; and Crackawines.com.au – an online marketplace that allowed wineries to sell direct-to-consumer. Now, Digital Wine Ventures (ASX:DW8) is an Australian publicly listed company that invests in technology-driven businesses servicing and supporting the global wine and beverage industry. The aim is to identify and invest in early stage technology-driven ventures that have the potential to disrupt and digitally transform their market segments and support them by providing access to capital, expertise and shared resources.
