ALTUS WINES - Key Persons


Jessie Paul

Jessie joined Altus Wines in 2016 and brings with her over 25 years of accounting experience. She has worked for clients in a wide range of industries and has a solid background in accounting processes and software applications. Jessie understands taking care of financial records is an important behind-the-scenes role in a company as it allows the rest of the team to focus on day-to-day operations. When she's not crunching numbers, Jessie enjoys cycling, travelling, and spending time with family and friends over great food and wine.

John Thomasson

John has been engaged in the wine industry for over 25 years; in 1989 he turned his love of wine into Liquid Art Fine Wines, a company that pioneered the high demand/small family estate movement that we see today. Later, as a Founder he helped grow Trialto Wine Group into one of the top fine wine companies doing business across Canada. He retired from Trialto in 2011 but could not stay away and has chosen to return to the wine trade and assist Altus Wines and a select number of other cutting edge importers. John looks at the overall strategic plan, and his experience, industry knowledge and financial sense are a great asset for Altus Wines.
