Mai Van Vu is the CEO/Founder of Mai Vino, a wine company that makes delicious natural wines you can enjoy anytime, anywhere. Mai Vino's wines are organically grown, fermented with native yeast, and packaged in an airtight spout that keeps wine fresh for 30 days after opening.

Born and raised in New York, Mai's wine journey began in her Brooklyn apartment, where the sight of wasted half-opened wine bottles sparked a quest for a better way to enjoy wine. Her journey to starting Mai Vino involved immersing herself in the world of wine, obtaining a WSET certification, apprenticing with a winemaker, and even getting a driver's license to find remote winemakers around the world.

Before embarking on her wine venture, Mai honed her strategic skills in advertising by leading multidisciplinary teams to create digital experiences for brands like Burger King, Verizon, and PNC and accumulating a wealth of knowledge that she would later pour into Mai Vino.

Mai has a B.S. from Northwestern University and was a former Nationally Ranked Fencer, Division I Fencer, and Four-Time NCAA Finals Participant.
