William M. Street was born into a Brown-Forman family in 1938. His father, Daniel Street, also had been president of the Louisville distiller.
Street worked closely with Brown-Forman Corp. chairman/CEO Owsley Brown II to develop and implement the company’s gloabalization strategy in the mid-1990s. “This strategy was the foundation that enabled the company’s outstanding period of growth and success over the last 20 years,” Brown-Forman chairman Garvin Brown said, adding:
“Bill was also a strong source of stability on the Brown-Forman board of director for more than four decades, and his counsel during that time is directly reflected in the company’s remarkable standing today.”
