Pam Heilmann,
Michter‘s
When Joseph Magliocco, of Michter’s, came to her with the opportunity to start a distillery, this challenge was truly intriguing. She would have her hands in everything! From personnel to equipment, this was exciting! She couldn’t say no. Heilmann’s philosophy is “the best of everything.”

Andrea Marie Wilson,
Michter’s
In 2014, her job at Diageo was dissolved and she began at Michter’s the next day. Literally, the next day, July 1, 2014. From a giant in the industry to a family-owned business, which has brought a new list of opportunities for Wilson. From then to now, she has become the Master of Maturation and Chief Operating Officer there. While at Michter’s, she has used her passion to help extensively grow the Shively Distillery. She was equally as important in the establishment of the Fort Nelson Distillery and their farm and operations in Springfield.
