Kristen Flores

Kristen Flores Class

Assistant Director of Grantees
(Board Member)

Kristen began her career as a 7th grade Language Arts teacher, but her love for data and consumer insights lead her down an unexpected path into the wine industry. In 2009, she joined The Wine Group as an analytics consultant and quickly started moving up in rank, eventually landing the role of developing TWG’s On-Premise Trade Marketing team from the ground up in 2015.

In that same year, Kristen was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the age of 32 with a recurrence in 2018. These experiences solidified her desire to use her position and privilege to make the wine industry a more equitable and inclusive place. She lives in Colorado Springs with her husband, Julian, and her son, Gabriel.
