After this morning’s dismal earnings report, we’re not surprised that Mark Hunter has decided to retire as president and ceo of Molson Coors Brewing Co. The company announced he will be succeeded by Gavin Hattersley, effective Sept. 28.
Hattersley, 56, has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of MillerCoors, the U.S. business unit, since September 2015. He’s a finance guy, having served as Chief Financial Officer of the Company from June 2012 to September 2015.
“I am privileged and honored to lead the company and succeed Mark in this role. Mark has been a great leader, friend, mentor and boss and has led this company through some dramatic change and I will be forever in his debt,” said Hattersley. “I care deeply about our company, our brands and our people. My commitment is to work hard, to be an empathetic leader and, above all, do whatever is necessary to maximize the potential of our business in order to restore shareholder value.”
