In 2018, Christie developed the charitable side of her career founding The WITI Group, a
501(c)(3) foundation focused on empowering and supporting the women of the hospitality
industry. In just two years, the foundation has grown from an idea to a collective of nearly 70
female leaders across the food and beverage industry. She is also known for creating the only

Conference.

In 2020, Christie launched her first product line with the release of JAB MiXOLOGY, a line of
infusion jars and products that create hand crafted cocktails in two simple steps. JAB stands for
“just add booze” and simplifies the process of mixologist-crafted cocktails for the consumer. By
taking the guesswork out of mixology, the in-home cocktail experience is elevated and
demystified.
