Anthony Hall was born and raised in London. After completing his MBA with honours in the UK he immigrated to the USA. Anthony has spent most of his corporate career working with iconic brands. While at Porsche Cars North America, Anthony was part of a team that introduced the Cayenne SUV into the market, which at that time was the fastest SUV on the market. After spending 5 years at Eastman Kodak in the roles of Director of FP&A and Innovation, he worked for several years at Novartis Pharmaceutical as Head of Business Planning & Strategy for the Eye Care division. At that time Anthony was the first manager in Novartis’ history to be accepted into the Novartis Executive Management Program within the first six months of working for the company. Anthony is also a cohort of the Novartis Harvard Business School Executive Management Program.

  Furthering his career, Anthony partnered with a private equity firm and worked in one of their investments in California for 11 years as President and CEO. After a successful exit in 2018, while awaiting patent approval for a new drone tech, as an entrepreneur in residence Anthony established 805 Wines as an international sales and marketing company for California wines. 805 Wines have successfully sold wines in the UK, Japan, South Korea and Kenya.

With the drone patent approval in 2022, Anthony is one of the owners and founders of the only non-military drone to receive a patent from the USA. The drone operates in a similar way to the NASA Perseverance drone in that it can fly, land, drive and collect agricultural information to improve farming yields. For the advanced drone technology, Anthony was the recipient of the City of Paso Robles Innovator of the Year Proclamation.
