Sophie Jump, Director, Jump Start Global Wine Solutions Ltd.

I studied languages and literature (French, Spanish, German) at St Andrews University, Scotland before joining the British Diplomatic Service. After postings in London, Dakar and Kuala Lumpur an ever-growing fascination with wine inspired me to leap into the unknown. I spent the next 18 months travelling with the OIV Masters in Wine Management and Marketing. After graduation, I joined the start-up team of Paris-based ChateauOnline, one of the first online wine e-commerce sites. Four years on I took up the role as Commercial and Marketing Director at the Seguin Moreau cooperage in Cognac before returning to the UK to set up my own consultancy business, Jump Start.

Cheery Cheers!
