Since combining two of the country’s premier beer brands in 2008, MillerCoors has strived to be a customer-centric company. “We’re all about having customers and consumers view us as their first choice,” Chief Integrated Supply Chain Officer Fernando Palacios says. At the same time, MillerCoors wants to be the first choice for its employees, too. Palacios is constantly thinking of ways to better retain, develop and promote the company’s internal talent pool of 7,500 workers. “Our people are the forefront of our company.”
The Las Vegas Strip has no shortage of eye-popping hotels and other attractions, but the Stratosphere Tower literally tops them all. Standing on the northern end of the famed strip, the 1,149-foot-tall structure is the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States as well as the home to a revolving restaurant and three thrill rides. The tower is the centerpiece of a gaming and hotel complex that includes a 2,427-room hotel, an 80,000-square-foot casino and a 110,000-square-foot retail area.
