Title: Vice President, V-One Vodka

Reason for choosing the Kittredge Center:

We were looking for information on the Balanced Scorecard Implementation Tool, the Kittredge Center was offering a workshop in January 2011. The session, facilitated by Iraida Delgado (Business Account Representative), gave us a new perspective on business and an understanding of this highly recommended tool.

This year has been very exciting for V-One Vodka, after winning "Double Gold" which is the top award at The World Spirit Competition in 2010.  We are growing and expanding into new markets. I often look to the Kittredge Center for courses and programs for Professional Development.

What is your favorite thing about HCC:

The location is very convenient! In addition, the people are knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to provide the training you need. Being a life-long resident of Holyoke, I am always happy to support HCC. I have had wonderful experiences with the college.
