Phil Whitehead has been appointed president and chief executive officer of the EMEA & APAC division of Molson Coors Beverage Company.
Whitehead has been managing director of the company’s Western Europe region for the past eight years, and prior to this was European supply chain director. He will continue to lead the Western Europe business until a successor is appointed.
Starting in the UK and Ireland business in 2006, Whitehead worked his way up the ranks over his 18-year tenure with the international brewer. During his time as Western Europe Managing Director, he has led for the continued growth of powerhouse brands like Carling and Coors, as well as the premiumisation and diversification of the company’s portfolio with world beer brands including Staropramen, Cobra and Madri Excepcional.
Whitehead said of his new appointment: “It’s been an absolute honour to have led our Western Europe business over the past 8 years. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have worked with a fantastic local team and alongside great customers and peers as part of our wider brewing industry.
“I look forward to taking this next step with a company I am incredibly proud has been my home over the past 18 years; and continuing to work alongside my EMEA & APAC and global colleagues to drive the successful growth of our business.”
