Mr. Reichert has held legal roles of successively greater
responsibilities with Molson Coors since joining the company as the
General Counsel of Molson Coors International in 2011. Mr. Reichert
currently serves as the company’s Deputy Chief Legal Officer, where
he helps lead the company’s mergers and acquisitions, innovation
and international business growth agendas. Before joining the
company, he was a distinguished business lawyer in private practice
with various national law firms.
“Lee is an outstanding choice to lead our Legal and Corporate
Affairs function,” said CEO Mark Hunter. “He has a great track
record, and is driven and focused on winning the right way.”
Mr. Walker joined the company in 2002, after a career in
Washington, D.C. as a litigator in private law practice, and as a
federal policy maker in the fields of labor, employment and
education. He has served as chief legal officer since 2005, playing
leading roles in the creation of the Miller Coors joint venture in
the U.S. (2008), the acquisition of StarBev (2012) and the
acquisition of MillerCoors and the Miller International business as
a centerpiece divestiture in Anheuser Busch InBev’s acquisition of
SABMiller (2016).
Mark Hunter said, “Sam Walker leaves an enduring impact on our
business. When our company’s history is written, his name will be
central to the change and journey that we delivered across
2005-2018. In the MCBC book, this will be a massively important
chapter.”
“Anyone who knows Sam knows that he is motivated to serve
others. His new role in public service is a wonderful and logical
next step,” Mr. Hunter said.
