The seasoned drinks executive has a raft of experience developing brands in global travel retail and emerging markets.
Experienced and well-respected spirits industry executive Tim Young has founded a consultancy to assist premium beverage companies.
London-based Young Spirit Consulting draws on the global travel retail and emerging markets spirits professional’s 30-plus years of experience.
This includes a near 20-year spell with Brown-Forman where he most recently served as Vice President, General Manager Africa.
He also held regional Marketing Director positions for India, the Middle East, Africa, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.
Young is perhaps most recognisable though as the Kentucky-based firm’s Marketing Director Global Travel Retail , a position he held for more than eight years.
