Casey Costello

President & Chief Executive Officer
Board of Directors

After obtaining a degree in Marketing from Santa Clara University, Casey and his brother Chris formed a partnership that has spanned 20 years. Their initial focus was on facilities and asset management, even as they pursued new development and business opportunities. In 2001, they became involved in the creation, financing, management and eventual sale of the award-winning Kosta Browne winery, followed in 2003 by the purchase, development, private financing, operation and eventual sale of a premium 1,100-unit self-storage business. As Kosta Browne’s meteoric rise consumed more of their attention, the brothers determined that Chris would focus on Kosta Browne while Casey attended to their remaining business interests. This included successfully entitling the development of a new winery, after a highly contested 10-year process, as well as the purchase, financing, refurbishment and expansion of an existing 150,000 SF self-storage complex . Their winery and self-storage interests converged and led to the creation of OenoVaults which, through its proprietary digital customer interface and high-level facilities, elevated the quality of wine storage in Northern California’s Wine Country. New to yerba mate, Casey is most impressed with the mental clarity and other health benefits associated with the product and its foreseeable appeal to a like-minded and growing demographic in the United States and abroad.
