Gurkha Cigars was also one of her many clients over the last several years where she became an integral part of their team so much so that they asked her to join them full time and lead their marketing and public relation efforts. She has already been working them with over four years when deciding to take on the position and is already considered part of the Gurkha family.
“Hiring Christine was a no brainer. She was already part of the Gurkha family… she knows the brand, she knows the team and she is a great team player,” said Hansotia. “It was just a natural transition and over the last few years she has really showed her value to the company and I think I can speak for the company when I say we are all excited that she now is officially part of Gurkha.”
