In February, the Trinity Business Network and Trinity’s Development Office welcomed Brian Vos, CEO of The Wine Group.

During a special luncheon attended by local business people, community members, and business students, Vos discussed his company’s unique business culture and values, as well as their creative ownership model.

“We are serious about being the most admired organization in the industry by delighting consumers,” said Vos, explaining the vision of the company and its mission to drive long-term value creation.

The Wine Group, headquartered in Livermore, California, is the world’s third-largest wine producer by volume, serving customers in North America, Western Europe, and Asia. The organization’s portfolio includes brands such as Cupcake, Franzia, and Almaden.

“Brian’s perspective on leadership was refreshing and can be applied to industries across a wide spectrum,” said Dennis Harms ’89, director of business and corporate giving. “The wine industry is certainly not very familiar to many people. It was fascinating to hear some of the history of the companies with which he has been associated.”

“What was most fun was not only hearing about the inner workings of the wine industry and how a Christian can serve faithfully in this area, but to share this experience with a wide range of the Trinity community,” said Dr. Rick Hamilton, assistant professor of business.
