Meet Our Team.

Laura Marquez

VP, Sales

Laura Marquez was OrderPort's first sales hire and, after five years on the front lines, still loves helping wineries find better ways to run their businesses. With nine years in the wine industry spanning cellar work, wine club operations, and compliance, she brings practical, real-world insights to every conversation.

Today, Laura leads OrderPort's national sales team, develops strategy, mentors reps, and helps shape the platform by staying closely connected to the evolving needs of wineries across the country. Outside of OrderPort, she co-owns Onyx Detail Company with her husband, managing the business's operations, branding, and, as she puts it, all the "boring stuff" she's surprisingly good at.

Now based in Dallas with two cats and a dog, Laura enjoys experimenting with edible gardening and believes the best wine is shared with friends around a home-cooked, multi-course meal.

Aubrey Snowball

Aubrey Snowball built her career around a passion for wine, earning a degree in Wine Business and studying international wine marketing in Australia before gaining experience in wine clubs, tasting rooms, and winery marketing. She joined OrderPort in customer success and onboarding and now leads the company's expansion across Northern California.

Aubrey is passionate about helping wineries simplify operations so they can spend less time managing systems and more time building customer relationships.

Based in her hometown of Dana Point, California, Aubrey enjoys beach walks with her husband and dog, Noodle, quiet evenings reading with her cat, Girly, and celebrating life's wins with champagne and caviar. Most months, you'll find her traveling throughout Northern California, helping wineries grow with confidence.

Nick Pearl

Nick Pearl brings more than 12 years of wine industry experience to OrderPort, with a background spanning wholesale, international distribution, DTC management, and winemaking. His philosophy is simple: The wine industry is hard enough. Your software shouldn't be.

Nick is passionate about helping winery owners and managers simplify their day-to-day operations so they can spend more time focusing on what they love: making and sharing great wine.

Based in Templeton, California, Nick lives with his wife and three children. He also produces two personal wine labels, loves cooking for a crowd, and is a lifelong Dodgers fan who's always happy to talk wine, food, or baseball.

Kevin Hitchens

Kevin Hitchen brings a collaborative mindset to his role as OrderPort's Eastern Sales Representative. A former athletic director, he believes great wineries, like great teams, succeed through strong partnerships and shared goals.

Since joining OrderPort, Kevin has immersed himself in the wine industry, helping wineries streamline operations and simplify everyday work. Based in Salt Lake City, he regularly travels throughout the East, building relationships and learning from the unique character of each wine region.

Originally from California wine country, Kevin enjoys a great Pinot Noir or rosé, especially after a long bike ride, and brings curiosity, energy, and a genuine commitment to helping wineries succeed.

EJ Fugison

With more than a decade of SaaS sales experience, EJ Furgison has spent the past three years helping wineries simplify operations and grow their businesses. His favorite part of the job is learning each winery's story and helping turn their goals into reality.

EJ joined OrderPort as a self-proclaimed "beer guy" but now proudly belongs to two wine clubs and has developed a deep appreciation for the people and community behind every bottle.

Based in San Luis Obispo, California, EJ lives with his wife and their two dogs. Outside of work, you'll find him at the beach, watching thriller movies, enjoying a staycation, or winning costume contests with suspicious consistency.
