About Us

Jules Robbins is the Founder & CEO of VinesOS. She was born in England, grew up in Toronto, Canada, and graduated from Queen's University. After years working for the tech giants, Bell Canada's 'Sympatico' and AOL Canada, she was promoted to Executive Producer for AOL and Netscape, moving to sunny California in 2000. After several years with Netscape, AOL, and Yahoo!, she set off to follow her dreams. Her passion was to create a Direct-To-Consumer platform for a unique vertical at the heart of California -- the wine industry -- lending her expertise from the top ladder of Corporate America to a sector that significantly needed powerful, innovative, and modern technology. Jules has successfully funded and led VinesOS for over 20 years. Today, VinesOS continues to accelerate and improve how wineries manage direct-to-consumer experiences. When not at her desk, Jules enjoys getting outdoors, wine tasting with friends, and cheering at her daughter's waterpolo games.

Andrew Viktorov is the Head of Engineering for VinesOS. He has been the heart of the code since 2009 and always has his finger on the pulse of modern technology. Andrew is ready for the challenge, whether it is new Customer Loyalty Programs we are creating from the ground up, Personalization algorithms, Stripe integrations, GooglePay and ApplePay, and so much more. He is part of the team that works behind the scenes to help launch unique new features to wineries each month. Andrew and the team help us push the needle and drive innovative features, whether with new APIs and integrations or custom developments. When not busy crunching code, Andrew enjoys biking, hiking, and traveling with his wife.
