Christina Condos from label converter Labelhouse has been named as one of two Victorian finalists for the Media Super Young Executive of the Year Award.

Condos, who serves as business development account manager at Labelhouse, was announced as a finalist at the Victorian Printing Industry Creativity Awards (PICAs) in Melbourne this week, alongside Lisa Schumacher from Print 2 Metal, whihc prints photos onto metal..

“I’m honoured and humbled, and appreciative of all the mentoring Labelhouse has given me,” Condos told PKN.

Ben Testa, general manager at Labelhouse, said it was well-deserved recognition for Condos and the hours she puts into her work.

“It recognises her willingness to learn and embrace what we’ve tried to impart on her, and the relationships she has with her clients – the way they lean on her and in turn the volume of work she brings in.

“For someone who’s still fairly new to sales, it’s been impressive to see her quick rise through the ranks. She’s a valued member of our team,” he said.

Testa added that the nomination is also a win for women in the industry.

“Christina fights a battle male reps don’t have to fight, and fights it very well – it’s great to have more gender equality on our team,” he said.

Stephen Assimo, regional manager for growth at Media Super Victoria, presented the award on the night, and hailed the dedication of both Condos and Schumacher.

“Christina has a bright future ahead of her, and her desire to continuously improve will no doubt open doors for more opportunities for her in years to come,” he said. “Congratulations Christina, we wish you and your co-nominee Lisa the best of luck in August at the National Print Awards.”

The Media Super Young Executive of the Year will be announced at the National Print Awards in Sydney next month, held in conjunction with the PrintEx trade show.
