Columbia to Charleston - Spillin' Sweet Tea with Victoria Russo

On this episode of Spillin’ Sweet Tea, we sit down with Victoria Russo, Vice President of Business Retention and Expansion at the Charleston Area Alliance and Chamber of Commerce, for a conversation about business, community, connection, and creating opportunity in the Kanawha Valley.

Victoria works directly with existing businesses and industries to help them grow, connect with valuable resources, find new customers, and explore creative solutions to workforce challenges. From strengthening business-to-business relationships to helping employers tap into non-traditional workforce pools, her work is all about building connections that help our region thrive.

We also get to know the person behind the professional title. Victoria shares her Colombian heritage, her perspective on community and leadership, and what she has learned from working alongside businesses and people throughout the region.

Grab a glass of sweet tea and join us for a conversation about economic development, relationships, and why supporting the businesses already invested in our communities is such an important part of West Virginia’s future.

Spillin’ Sweet Tea celebrates the people, organizations, and ideas making a positive difference across West Virginia and Appalachia.
