Meet Kristina Borden, Our New La Garde Inox West Coast Representative
There’s an easy warmth to Kristina. She’s curious, genuine, and talks about wine with real joy,the kind of person who makes you feel heard. That’s exactly why we’re thrilled to welcome her to the La Garde Inox team.
With over 10 years of experience in the wine industry, Kristina brings deep expertise and a genuine understanding of what makes each winery unique. But more importantly, she brings a philosophy that aligns perfectly with ours: the belief that great tools should simplify winemakers’ lives, not complicate them.
A passion for people and purpose
Before anything else, Kristina loves people. She’s driven by learning their stories, how a winery started, the challenges they face, and what keeps them inspired through each harvest.
“I wanted to work with a company that creates premium, high-quality products and offers innovative, unique solutions to its customers,” she explains. For her, joining La Garde Inox made perfect sense. Our focus on performance, efficiency, and durability matches her thinking exactly.
What really drives her
Ask Kristina what excites her most about her new role, and her answer is immediate: “The people. Building long-term, genuine relationships and helping clients find valuable solutions to optimize their business, that’s what gets me up in the morning.”
She listens carefully, takes notes, remembers details, and always follows through. Calm, grounded, and trustworthy, she’s exactly the kind of partner you want when making significant investments in your winery’s future.
How Kristina works
Kristina’s approach rests on three core principles:
- Integrity – doing the right thing, even when no one’s watching
- Communication – clear, timely, and focused on solutions
- Relationships – trust and loyalty always come first
For her, relationships aren’t transactional. She takes time to understand each client personally, ensuring every recommendation is tailored to their specific needs and goals.
Beyond stainless steel
When she’s not exploring innovations in stainless-steel tank technology, Kristina’s probably talking about wine or enjoying a glass of it. “I love wine and can’t wait to visit your wineries, meet you in person, and share a glass soon,” she says.
Kristina will be visiting the Okanagan Valley the week of October 20, 2025. If you’d like to meet and discuss how La Garde Inox solutions can benefit your operation, reach out directly.
