Lotan is in charge of Tulip Winery’s marketing and branding from strategy to implementation. She is also responsible for exports and business partnerships. "The work at the winery is challenging and diverse," she said. "I meet a lot of interesting people who are always eager to learn about the wonderful wines Israel produces. But the highlight of my job is working with Kfar Tikva residents. It always lights up my day."
Partnering across generations
Roy Itzhaki founded Tulip Winery with three goals: to produce top-quality wines, sell them for a reasonable price and, most important, to support adults with developmental and emotional disabilities. Roy went into partnership with Dudi Weissman in 2014 and, today, Dudi's daughter, Lotan Weissman, is the company's marketing and export manager. In our interview they gave a real-life example of a successful partnership in the social-business sector and how two generations can work together beyond their differences.
