David Bowman, CEO, Ste. Michelle Wine Estates

Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, Washington’s largest winery, has announced a series of leadership changes. David Bowman has been appointed CEO. Bowman was previously co-CEO with Anna Mosier. Mosier will now serve as president and chief financial officer.

“David is a true visionary with deep expertise in the wine industry, and Anna brings exceptional operational and financial leadership,” Court Wyckoff, CEO of Wyckoff Farms and Coventry Vale Winery, said in a press release. “Together, their strategic and operational guidance will be critical to Ste. Michelle’s future success. We are committed to supporting these talented leaders as they advance Ste. Michelle’s portfolio of iconic Northwest wine brands and champion the future of Washington’s wine industry.”

The Wyckoff family purchased SMWE in December from Sycamore Partners, a New York based private equity firm. The Wyckoff’s purchase marked the first time in over 50 years that Ste. Michelle has been under local ownership.

Bowman joined SMWE in 2022
