Italian drinks group Campari said
Wednesday that it has appointed British-Australian manager Simon
Hunt as its new chief executive officer.
Hunt will take over from current interim co-chief executive
officers Paolo Marchesini, the chief financial and operating
officer, and Fabio Di Fede, the chief legal and M&A officer.
Hunt has over 30 years of experience in the spirits industry,
particularly in the strategic US market, as well as in emerging
markets.
He spent 14 years at William Grant&Sons, owner of the world's
best-selling single malt Scotch whisky portfolio.
"During my more than three decades of experience within the
spirits industry, I have always held Campari Group in the
highest regard for its unique history, strong portfolio of
iconic brands, company culture, and continuous outperformance
and stellar growth story," Hunt said.
"I am honoured and excited to take on this extraordinary
opportunity and
I look forward to working with Campari Group's talented
leadership team and organization to continue to build on the
company's heritage and success built over the past decades, and
to take Campari Group's potential and growth ambition to its
next level".
