The program was developed as a way to honor her life and commemorate her longstanding influence and to foster a culture that aligns with Zubatkin’s values of character and integrity.

We’re very pleased to recognize Larissa Albert as our inaugural award recipient. Larissa has been a key part of the Zubatkin team for over twelve years and leads our Project Controls department.
