Lindt Australia CEO Steve Loane backs winemakers who have deserted corporates

The chief executive of Lindt Australia, Steve Loane, has been with the chocolatier 19 years and isn’t planning on going anywhere, but he’s backing a wine start-up based on the joys of escaping corporate restrictions. Loane has put $50,000 to date into Iconic Winemakers, an online marketer focused on selling premium wines for winemakers who have made their name at a big brand, before going out on their own.
