Growing up on the Space Coast of Florida, Alicia Ortiz began her career at Kennedy Space Center as a Public Affairs intern and quickly developed her skillset in brand strategy, media relations, and social responsibility.

Ultimately taking her first full-time job out of college with MORI Associates, another NASA contractor based in Maryland, she connected with Blake Hershey in 2019, who told her about his idea for Sippd. Resonating with Sippd’s mission to create a more inclusive wine experience for younger, less-experienced wine drinkers while using the platform to support social causes in a digital format - she knew she had to be a part of the project.

Today, Alicia is the Head of Marketing at Sippd - the personal wine recommender and online marketplace that combines artificial intelligence and wine to help consumers find and order wines that match their unique taste profile.
