Ali Dedianko
Belvedere Vodka
Director of Education
Ali Dedianko is a Baltimore native who moved to New York City in 2003 to attend New York University. While she majored in European Studies and minored in Russian Language, she has always had a true passion for spirits. After 7 years behind the bar, she entered the Belvedere Dream Job, a global cocktail competition that saw hundreds of bartenders battle it out for the chance to work with the prestigious brand. Thanks to her creative cocktails, ability to capture an audience, and genuine passion for the brand, Ali went on to win the global competition and joined Belvedere Vodka in 2011 as Global Brand Ambassador.
In 2016, after 5 years with Belvedere, having visited over 50 countries and trained more than 20,000 people globally, Ali was promoted to the role of Global Director of Education. Her new role will see her continuing to spread the good word of vodka with a team of ambassadors around the world. When she is not globetrotting, she is lucky enough to now call London home. Ali speaks four languages – Spanish, Italian, Russian and of course, English (with a strange American accent!).
