Katrina Markoff

Katrina Markoff, founder of Vosges-Haut Chocolat, won the 2007 OPEN from American Express & Entrepreneur Magazine Woman of the Year Contest. Katrina Markoff launched her gourmet chocolate company in 1998. While working out of her Chicago apartment, she created a line of specialy chocolates using a variety of exotic ingredients from around the world. The steps she took next to bring her chocolates to a larger market would bring her great success over the course of the next decade.

Katrina Markoff first shopped her chocolates to Neiman Marcus who originally gave her a weak response. Katrina didnt give up. Instead, she left some of her chocolate samples with the Neiman Marcus buyer, and the next day he called and asked for more, which he left in the companys break room. The employees loved them, and the next thing Katrina knew, her chocolates were being sold in Neiman Marcus.
