Leadership Team

Jessie Ott

Beverage Industry Leader for 20+ Years. 

Host of Thirsty Thursdays @3PM EST a food and beverage innovation podcast. I interview pioneers that are changing our industry. https://www.youtube.com/@ThirstyThursdaysat3PMEST

We are excited to be building a portfolio of brands to showcase your hard work to the Military, Export, Duty Free and Cruise Lines. 

I love all the innovation happening in our time and loving the industry more than ever. I love spending time outside walking with my family including our 11 year old Golden Retriever Bella, riding bike or enjoying a great meal with family and friends.

Bob Syner brings over a decade of experience in the wine industry, having spent 12 years at Robert Mondavi Winery. He began as the Southeast Manager, overseeing six states, before moving into National Accounts, where he managed sales across the eastern United States. 

Three years later, he transitioned into Export and Duty-Free sales. In 2000, Bob founded Specialty Brands, leveraging his industry expertise to expand sales across the Caribbean, Latin America, Duty-Free, and Cruise Line sectors, growing revenue to over $8 million.

Marketing

Building brands with his strategic, psychology-driven approach, Epe believes marketing isn't just about selling a product—it’s about selling the lifestyle consumers aspire to. 

With a sharp focus on copywriting as the backbone of sales and marketing, Epe ensures brands craft compelling narratives that drive engagement and conversion. 

His go-to drink? A glass of Meinelschmidt Distillery Bourbon.
