Wittur Group’s Post

This photo doesn’t do the last few days justice. Conferences(Assemble Holidays would be a more appropriate name) often seem to come at a time when you don’t want to be away from your desk etc. BUT wowee was it great to let the hair down over the last few days, get to know people from our sister businesses better and to get the “good oil” from some of the best in the business about what’s helped them be successful in business and to build successful businesses. The common denominators were the importance of hiring good people, with shared values, who will add to an already great culture, be kind and to provide opportunity. Look forward to the next one.

Investing in the future

Being acknowledged for being a team player is the greatest validation of collective effort.

The new Pacini Group headquarters represents an important step in our growth path. A place designed to inspire our team and strengthen the sense of belonging to our company. #Pacinigroup #Realestateadvisory #Hospitalitydevelopment #Hotelmanagement

a highlight of the last several months for our People team ✨ Chloe Hudson Rebecca Neal 👏 We create engagement of our globally distributed, remote team by enabling frequent re-connection in our headquarters. Our offices in Brussels are an alive, beating heart of the company. To do that sustainably, over time and at scale, we need cost optimisation - but not at the expense of the comfort of our Rockers. That is how we arrived at the concept of "Keyrock Maison" - a serviced townhouse where everyone has comfortable personal space but where our team members can create connections in thoughtfully designed shared spaces while they visit. At 50% cost compared to hotels or airbnbs 💸 Curious to know what other distributed companies do to keep their teams "together" and aligned 💡

I believe in discovering business opportunities when everyone else looks away. Financial markets off public markets has been stranded for quite a while. Investors are hesitant on valuations as transactions are low and businesses struggle to find a way to continue an extensive growth. Hence an exit has been distant into the future, but how to navigate the current investor landscape to prepare for exit opportunities to get the wheels turning again. We look into this topic at our upcoming Feminvest event with RareWine Invest and Porsche AG in April.

All of these Psychologists have certainly made important contributions. But using citation metrics to rank "Top" scientists ignores the many other ways that scientists contribute to or harm scientific progress. As we've recently seen in various fraud and questionnable research practice investigations in the behavioral sciences, some scientists may look astounding on a limited number of dimensions such as citations or publications, but pollute the scientific literature with unreliable research or as toxic mentors and colleagues. By focusing on individual achievements, such metrics incentivize scientists to do whatever is best for their careers, regardless of what is best for science. We need to move towards a system when scientists are rewarded or punished for their entire range of contributions to science, not just their individual achievements.

🎉 Employee Spotlight: Celebrating Maria O’Connor’s’ Appointment as Marketing Director, Americas! 🎉 🎤 Blitz Interview with Maria: Insights into #LifeAtStoli What initially drew you to Stoli, and how has your journey been since joining the company?   I had the opportunity to work on STOLI and Elit over 15 years ago when the brands were already considered the benchmark for flavored vodkas and for defining the ultra-premium vodka category. Learning more about the relaunch of STOLI and the company’s expanded portfolio drew me back. My journey this past year has been fast paced and dynamic, offering new challenges and opportunities every day. Can you share a memorable moment or project during your time at Stoli that stands out to you?   Recently, our first in person Americas Marketing team meeting was memorable. Getting to know each other and enjoying several meals together on a more informal basis allowed for a bonding opportunity, strengthening the overall camaraderie, and building trust: all important principles to driving collaboration and success of the team. How would you describe the culture and work environment at Stoli?   Dynamic entrepreneurial spirit is how I would describe Stoli’s culture and environment. Through creativity, determination and passion, individuals can make impactful decisions daily to drive the business forward.  We have a wonderfully talented and diverse group at Stoli. Together, we can achieve remarkable results. In what ways has Stoli supported your professional development and growth?   After initially coming onboard as Regional Marketing Leader, I found myself in a unique position to transition into a leadership role which has given me more responsibility and exposure to the Executive Team. Developing the short and long term marketing strategy for our team has been a challenging and rewarding experience, allowing me the opportunity for both professional and personal growth.   How does Stoli foster a sense of community among its employees? At Stoli, we are committed to working together, fostering a sense of belonging and cultivating an environment of trust. A recent team building experience reinforced this spirit where we respected different viewpoints and made sure everyone's voice was heard. What advice would you give to someone considering a career at Stoli or entering a similar industry?   The wine & spirits industry is a highly rewarding and convivial environment. Have the desire to learn, meet as many people as possible and expose yourself to the various facets of the industry. Commit yourself and have fun. #LifeAtStoli #EmployeeSpotlight #CongratulationsMaria
