✨Five years at Campari America!✨ When I saw this job description back in 2018 posted by a few people I used to work with who had since moved on to Campari, I knew it was my dream job. It’s unusual to find a role that has unlikely combinations of everything you want, and even more unusual to be able to morph it each year based on our growing needs - curating the hospitality experience within our office and running the bar & Academy spaces, while being heavily involved in building brands and their strategies (for the whole portfolio and for our innovation pipeline), and working with the field to meet their needs for accounts and customers through education and Academy. That’s morphed into so much more than what it was five years ago, and I almost can’t believe there was a time when I did almost everything myself - including washing all the glasses. I’ve woven the Academy into the fabric of so much of what our organization does at a local and global scale, and it’s taught me so much about business and myself in the process. It has become the most cross-functional and broadly demanding role I’ve ever had - which has shifted what “I” do into what “we” do in a profound way. From just over 300 attendees in our early days in 2019 to a staggering 7,000 in 2023, the journey has been remarkable (and that’s only the people through the doors of our HQ!). Every year since our modest beginnings, and navigating through the challenges of COVID, has shaped us. That would be a lot of glasses to wash if I were still doing it all alone! Huge thanks to my team, those that feed into our work streams, and the agencies - their support is how this is all possible (and why I’m still standing). The old saying, 'go fast, go alone; go far, go together', has never been more appropriate. Now, I'm excited to focus not just on creating new things but on optimizing what we already have. Shocking that I would be so pragmatic, I know! Building the plane as we’ve been flying it since 2019 has been an exhilarating challenge, but now it's time to refine our course. Here's to the next chapter! ✨

I am both humbled and grateful for the chance to take part in this year's Behind The Label Initiative. As a Latina woman working in the alcoholic beverage industry, it is an honor to share my story with others and become a part of such an amazing green family. This has been an inspiring experience and I look forward to seeing how we continue to grow our diverse talent pool. 💚🍻 The alcoholic beverage industry is ripe with opportunities to pursue a successful and meaningful career. This is why, with our third installment of The HEINEKEN Company Company USA’s Behind the Label: “Redefining What it Means to Work in the Alcoholic Beverage Industry,” we’re spotlighting the diverse talent and career opportunities within our industry. Through our research, we found that most people find our industry appealing and forward-thinking, but we uncovered some misconceptions about the types of roles that are needed and the opportunities for career growth. Roles within the alcoholic beverage industry span beyond on-premise roles and product development -and is not bound by gender, race or area of expertise. You can find the full 2023 report below (I'm on page 12 🤗) or check out the link to this year's and previous years' reports! https://lnkd.in/eskYcQuF #workinginbeerindustry #greenfamilia

Meet Kiana Cova Joining the Mondi Tribe back in 2020, Kiana is a Mondi partner. Today, she will be sharing her Mondi experience with us. 🔎 Describe your role in a few words? I’m often referred to as “The Creative brain” behind Mondi. My official title is Marketing & Brand Director. 🌟 What inspired you to join the Mondi team? I don’t believe in coincidence, but I do believe in synchronicities. On one of the worst days in my career I got a phone call from Mariska Nunes, one of the founders of Mondi, asking me to join the Mondi team. At the time I was already an ambassador for the restaurant and felt a deep connection to the entire concept as I’m born and raised in Curacao. The conversation with Mariska, my profound affinity for the concept, and the unique timing of it all inspired me to make a decision that would ultimately change the course of my life. ⭐️ What makes Mondi special? Next to the exceptional food, Mondi is special because it celebrates the Caribbean ethos through various aspects of the concept from music, to staff, to art, to the interior in the restaurants. We're Caribbean down to our core and that creates an authentic space and ambiance.    🌺 What is your favorite part of the Caribbean influence at Mondi? For me it's about togetherness and feeling at home. Seeing people that are from completely different age groups, backgrounds, and styles come together to dine, dance and drink makes me very happy. This effect represents the Caribbean influence... At my mother's house in Curaçao we're bound to end up dancing after some drinks & dinner. 🏅How important is the customer at Mondi? We see our customers as guests that we are welcoming into our space, so it's pivotal to us that they leave with a full belly, happy memories and possibly sore feet from a little dance. To us it's about connection, which we always aim to create through the delivery of great service, food and solution-oriented thinking. 🗝️ 3 pillars for customer satisfaction? Exceptional quality, personalized experiences, engagement & feedback.    🌍 How does Mondi cater to both locals and international guests? At the basis, our concept is elevated Caribbean cuisine, but we try to have some items on the menu that cater to even the pickiest eaters. Whether it's a burger, a salad or a lobster bisque - we have something for everyone.  Mondi even caters the Corendon Airline's onboard meals from Amsterdam to Curaçao and back.    💭 Describe Mondi in a word? Caribbean, duh   🍹 What new and exciting things can guests expect at Mondi in the coming months? We're currently working on the Mondi Beachclub in Curaçao and that is going to be a-ma-zing! After this is done, we're working on two other ventures in Curaçao. So, follow us on Instagram and stay tuned! Love, Kiana

The Heineken Behaviors have become imbeded in the very fabric of our organization and our people at Heineken Saint Lucia. It is the blueprint for how our team members show up everyday. Below, I discuss what it means to "Champion a culture of belonging". Belonging; a single word with so much power. In the professional and personal sphere we must foster an environment that allows people to feel like family. When we exude warmth and natural affection we easily win people and find the why in what we do. Hence, when it comes to fostering a culture of belonging it is never just my profession but it will always be my purpose.

Being in an environment where one feels psychologically safe is important not just for the individual’s well being, but also in getting the best performance from the employee. Recognizing and promoting diversity is a good step in creating that environment.

This Heineken commercial video is moving. Our shared humanity is deeper than our differences, and when we are driven by curiosity rather than the will to win an argument, beautiful and respectful relationships can be formed. A respectful relationship is about loving and respecting each other despite our differences in beliefs and views. In the past year, I have become friends with people whom I never thought I could even sit with, because I would make personal assumptions based on their words and beliefs without truly knowing them. It took a moment of curiosity: 'I am curious to understand your thoughts because I am not able to see what you see. Help me see what I can’t see.' Curiosity opened my mind and my world, helping me understand things I previously struggled to grasp. More importantly, I realized that having strongly different views does not necessarily mean that we lack shared values that can foster bonds and develop into beautiful relationships. This is what we should strive for and teach our students: communicate to understand, communicate to seek the truth rather than to win arguments, and view disagreements as potential invitations to improve ideas or beliefs.
