Ana Jackson MW
Ana Jackson MW, head of wine business development at Amathus Drinks, is the newly appointed Acting Regional Chair for Southern & Eastern Mediterranean at the DWWA 2026.
She arrived in London from her native Romania to study an MBA degree, which was completed with a wine project. It was during this project that she caught the wine bug as it involved her importing a pallet of Romanian wine and selling it singlehandedly by knocking at the trade’s door.
Ana joined Oddbins through the trainee management programme, having managed a number of branches, including a flagship branch. She joined the buying department as a trainee buyer rising up to the role of head wine buyer where she was responsible for reshaping and redefining the Oddbins wine range.
Ana was first a judge at the DWWA in 2011.
