🏡 Thrilled to share my first experience helping a client from Lithuania sell their home! 🌟 Their satisfaction was through the roof—literally! Not only did I receive a generous red envelope, but I was also treated to a delicious meal that was absolutely fattening. Feeling grateful! 🍽️✨ #RealEstateSuccess #ClientAppreciation #SuccessStories #realestatetoronto #realestategta #torontorealtor #torontorealestate #gtarealestate #torontoproperty #RealEstateExpert

📌 Happy National Nougat Day! Why am I celebrating this day? Well, because it’s such a rich part of my culture. But, also…wait for it… Nougat is typically made by mixing egg whites together and adding honey or sugar, roasted nuts, and sometimes candied fruit. In Italy, they call it torrone. In Spain, a nougat is called turrón. Now, I’ll shamelessly HR tie it all together: Culture is critical, created and modeled by leadership! The buck stops there. Here is the recipe: 🥣 Mix everyone together (focus on making meaningful connections and create opportunities for that to happen – yes, get up and walk and talk to those in your charge, as a priority). 🍯 Add honey AND sugar (focus on taking care of each other; empathy and kindness goes a long way; just do right by your employees whatever that looks like). 🍉 Throw in some nuts and fruits for good measure (focus on supporting and developing your teams; ensure everyone feels heard and given opportunities at all levels). So…aim to be proud of the recipe you have created, the nougat that represents you, and reap what you sow in loyal followers! #NationalNougatDay #CultureEatsStrategy #You’reIt!

🎉 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

What a great pleasure to be back at Fruit Attraction this past week. If I should mention one single thing that was repeated in all the different meetings and conversations with supplier from across the globe, it would be #CLIMATECHANGE and its impact on production and crops everywhere. At Coop Trading our purpose is BETTER EVERYDAY THROUGH LEADING NORDIC PRIVATE BRANDS. Through sustainable, fresh and great tasting products at attractive prices and consistent supply 365 days a year, we in the fruits and veg. category aim to motivate consumers to eat more Fruit´s and vegetables. CLIMATE ACTION NOW is an import part of succeeding with this and therefore we have accelerated the work with our suppliers on #SBTi commitment where partner suppliers will be the first ones to commit. Furthermore ambitious climate and sustainability initiatives are agreed as part of our 3-year shared and rolling growth plans. My sensation after speaking with many great suppliers at the fair, is very good and the future looks bright. The commitment from our suppliers taking ownership of our purpose and striving to make a difference for 27 million consumer is fantastic. #SBTi #Climate #CoopTrading #Sourcing #Supply
