Rebecca, a Paris native, embarked on her wine journey in 2006 after obtaining a Master's degree in Economics from the Sorbonne.

In 2011, Rebecca relocated to London, where she honed her skills in sales and wine buying. Her career trajectory saw her working for premium UK agents and merchants, including roles focused on wine procurement.


In May 2024, Rebecca is set to join Acker Wines, the oldest US fine wine merchant and auction house, as a Senior Buyer based in their London office.
