LOS ANGELES , January 31, 2024 (Industry Intelligence Inc.) –
When Conor McQuaid--Pernod Ricard's CEO for North America--traveled recently to Ireland for the year’s first meeting of the Pernod Ricard Board of Directors, Executive Committee and Executive Leadership Team, it didn't feel exactly like a new experience for him being that he's from Ireland and spent 18 years at Irish Distillers.
But after taking the helm as North American CEO, McQuaid saw the meeting as something more than just a homecoming. It was an opportunity to develop a new outlook with a specific focus on the US market.
"Jameson represents 77% of all Irish Whiskey sales in the United States, according to Nielsen, and is one of the top 10 spirit brands in the world," McQuaid said in a recent LinkedIn post. "Our whole range of Irish Distillers products continues to lead the way in Irish whiskey globally, something I’m personally very proud of."
McQuaid also gave special thanks to Nodjame Cecile Fouad, CEO and Chairman of Irish Distillers, 'for her and her teams' warm hospitality" during the meeting.
"What a great way to start the New Year!" McQuaid said.
