All In The Family: Whiskey, Neat with Sonat Birnecker

January Video Course · Launches Jan 5th 2023

 

How does your family inspire the work that you do and how can you involve them in the process? Jill talks with Sonat Birnecker Hart on the founding of KOVAL Distillery, insourcing, and what her family has meant to her throughout.

Learn how Sonat and her husband relied on insourcing and included family in their business.

  • »  Remember that you can be good at a lot of things, but not everything.
  • » You can gain a lot of strength from being close to family.
  • » Recognize that in business you’re always changing and evolving.
  • » Ask yourself if you are making use of all of your strengths and where family might be able to help.

Let’s Talk About Sonat

Prior to opening KOVAL Distillery, one of the largest independent and female-owned craft distilleries in the US, Dr. Sonat Birnecker Hart spent over a decade as a full professor in both the United States and Germany. In 2008, she gave up tenure in hopes of a different quality of life; one that would afford an opportunity for her to work with her husband, give up commuting, and return to the city she loved: Chicago. As President of KOVAL, she has spearheaded product development, distribution, and marketing, turning her family business into an international presence with availability in over 55 export markets.
