Molson Coors brands -- including Coors Light, Blue Moon, Keystone, Molson Canadian, Rickard's and Carling -- rank among the top performers in their core markets in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. "Dave will be looking for more ways to take our brands global," said Leo Kiely, president and chief executive officer of Molson Coors. "We've already seen how well Coors Light travels in other beer markets, now we want to step-up that focus and look for opportunities for the rest of the portfolio as well."
"In addition to organic growth, Perkins' team will also intensify and expand our efforts to find other value-added growth opportunities around the world," said Kiely. "Molson Coors has demonstrated its ability to create value through partnerships, joint ventures and acquisitions-from the Molson Coors merger to the new Modelo JV in Canada to the proposed joint venture with SAB Miller in the U.S. -- and we intend to put that expertise to work in securing the next generation of growth opportunities for our investors."
