Stephanie Morton-Small founded Wine Diamonds to provide sales and marketing management and expertise. This engagement model offers wineries an alternative to a standard employee contract, while bringing her in as short or long-term embedded resource / member of the team.

On launch Wine Diamonds was immediately contracted by Thomas Schmidheiny Wine Estates, where she had worked in-house for five years prior, to continue management as Chief Commercial Officer of Finca Decero. This relationship was a wine industry exclusive contract which was successfully completed in August 2024. 

Stephanie has an MBA and three decades global experience involving wine and spirit brands in the premium and luxury sectors. A maverick, she has a rare career which has spanned all major markets and wine regions yielding multi-faceted experience across all sectors of the wine industry including viticulture, winemaking, sales, and marketing through to harnessing cutting-edge digital technology.

Stephanie is particularly motivated by forging growth for heritage brands, though she has enjoyed tenure in private and publicly-held companies, from family-owned businesses to multi-nationals, at all life-cycle stages: start-up, high growth and turnaround. Strategic and commercially astute she is an agile thinker. She has an excellent track record in advising leaders as well as frequently being the driving force behind this success.

Stephanie has lived and worked in France, Australia, Argentina, London and USA. Now based in California, Stephanie is perfectly poised to assist wine and luxury spirits brands wishing to strengthen their trajectory in North America.
