Anne is Development Director for the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation. Her first wine project was on the wine labels of the Loire Valley, aged 11. Between then and now she spent two decades working in the Waitrose wine buying team, studying wine and spirits (with a side career as a singer), and then becoming a wine sustainability consultant. Anne’s focus is on creating value from sustainable wine production, and on ‘joining the dots’ between understanding and improving the impact of individual vineyard activities while harnessing the power of collaboration and collective action. She is also Sustainability Advisor and Ambassador for WineGB, was a founding Trustee of the Sustainable Wine Roundtable, and has a small but select group of producer and event clients with a focus on sustainability and ESG strategy and reporting, as well as writing, judging and presenting.
