Vitalie Taittinger is a powerful leader in Champagne. As President and CEO of the 3rd oldest Champagne House, established in 1734, Vitalie oversees 200+ employees and the production of around 6 million bottles of Taittinger Champagne annually, exported to over 130 countries. She is also the mother of four children and an avid supporter of the arts and local charities. But she oversees the Taittinger empire with grace, vision and a strong sense of work/life balance. So how does she accomplish this?
“We are not just a family business – it is much more than that. Champagne is in our hearts, linked to nature, people, culture and art. It is part of the joy we have every day,” she told me recently during a Zoom interview. “We have a strong sense of balance between family and work,” she explained. “I have a great team supporting me, and it is important to remember that if we want to be sustainable as a business, we need balance for all of the team.”
