Ramaytush, Ohlone, Muwekma land – San Francisco, CA

After years in strategy and product management for global products like Disney+ and Call of Duty, Stephanie is eager to bring her expertise in building consumer relationships and engagement to the nonprofit space, and feels so excited to be working with The Vinguard. She is inspired by the organization’s vision for a more diverse and equitable wine industry.

For several years, Stephanie has dedicated her free time to wine education, earning certifications and creating content that fosters an inclusive and accessible online community. Her wine-focused social media account has grown into a welcoming space where learning and inclusivity are central. She is excited to continue connecting with more members of the wine community, learning, and exploring her passion within the industry.

Stephanie’s ideal afternoon is spent outdoors—whether sailing, hiking, or enjoying a chilled glass of dry Riesling under the sun.
