Supplier names beverage alcohol industry executive Gus Griffin as president and CEO effective July 28.
MGP Ingredients, Inc., Atchison, Kan., said its board of directors appointed beverage alcohol industry executive Gus Griffin as president and CEO of the company effective July 28.
Offiicals say Griffin brings a wealth of marketing and management leadership qualifications to his role, including significant and progressive experience with Brown-Forman Corp., where he ultimately served as senior vice president and global managing director in charge of the company’s flagship Jack Daniel’s business. They say his selection for the top executive post at MGP concludes an extensive nationwide search to fill this position, which Randy Schrick, vice president of engineering, and Don Tracy, vice president of finance and CFO, had shared on an interim basis since December 2013.
