Effective immediately, Jon Grey, 52, assumes responsibility for leading all commercial operations in the APAC region, while Mahesh Madhavan, 51, leads the commercial operations for the Middle East & Africa MEA region for the Company’s spirits portfolio.
“These two emerging businesses are critical to the continued growth of Bacardi,” said Michael J.
