Anheuser-Busch InBev SA said it has tapped Brendan Whitworth as
zone president, North America, and chief executive of its
Anheuser-Busch business, effective July 1.
The Budweiser brewer also on Monday named Ezgi Barcenas to be
its new chief sustainability officer.
The company said Monday that Mr. Whitworth, currently its U.S.
chief sales officer, will succeed Michel Doukeris, who is
transitioning to the role of global CEO of AB InBev.
"With his deep roots in the U.S., his experience partnering with
our wholesaler and retail customers, and his ability to inspire the
North America team, I am confident Brendan is the right leader to
accelerate our momentum in the U.S. and Canada," Mr. Doukeris
said.
The beer maker said the appointment of Ms. Barcenas is effective
Aug. 1, and she will report directly to Mr. Doukeris. The current
chief sustainability Officer, Tony Milikin, will step down at that
time, the company said.
"The appointment of [Ms. Barcenas] as our fully dedicated chief
sustainability officer is a recognition of the importance of
sustainability and reflects our commitment to driving business
outcomes and delivering value through our ESG agenda," Mr. Doukeris
said.
