The ‘Shazam for wine’ is the fastest growing and most downloaded wine application in the Apple App Store. 10 million wine drinkers worldwide use Vivino to scan labels and identify wines, rate and compare, and social dialogue about wine. When Vivino decided to enter a new market selling directly to consumers, the Chief Business Development Officer asked Redfish Technology to find a Commerce Operations Manager who was ambitious and would be able to run the US commerce business within 24 months.

“Tory and her team at Redfish helped me make the transition from a large Fortune 50 company to a technology startup. Tory instructed me through the interview process, and didn’t miss a beat. I felt incredibly prepared and excited throughout the process, and was confident Tory would find me a great fit. When the opportunity at Vivino presented itself, Tory was all over it, seeing the natural fit between my skillset and what Vivino desired, and quickly getting me interviews and ultimately, an offer. Without Tory, I would not have been so fortunate in landing with such a great company. Cheers to her and Redfish!” – Will Pearson
