Management Team / Advisory Board Bios

Sara Moll, Founder & CEO
Sara founded Vin Social with a mission to create a better way for curious consumers to become wine-confident and discover the best small-production, sustainably-crafted wines of the world that industry insiders drink at their own tables. And to show reverence to these talented, purpose-driven producers by telling their stories authentically and introducing them to an audience that is thirsty to learn.

As a former creative director in the NY fashion industry, Sara created Vin Social drawing from a decade of experience in both the wine and fashion industries. Sara’s approach to curation combines storytelling with seasonal trend-spotting and a values-driven lens to create sensory experiences designed to bring the wine lifestyle and the human stories behind the bottles to life.

Lily Styles, Chief Operating Officer
With a background in hospitality and the performing arts, Lily is a decades-long event producer scaling white-glove events and production teams for Top 100 brands and start-up communities.
From producing large-scale concert benefits featuring Snoop Dogg, The Band Perry, Hall and Oats and Sara Silverman, to managing Verizon’s 5G activations nationally, Lily has done it all. A proven sales person, Lily has added profit and value to every company she has worked for, turning lackluster event programs into highly profitable revenue streams, increasing sales programs by 300% and raising $1.8 million in a single night.
