Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America announced a plan for association executive and operational management during the transitional phase following the June 30 departure of longtime President and CEO Craig Wolf, who is seeking election as Maryland Attorney General.
Jo Moak, WSWA Senior Vice President and General Counsel, will serve as Acting Executive Vice President for Internal Affairs, and Dawson Hobbs, WSWA Senior Vice President, Government Relations, will serve as Acting Executive Vice President for External Affairs.
As head of the Executive Committee, Barkley Stuart of Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, WSWA 2018-2019 Chairman, will make senior executive decisions for the staff.
The WSWA Executive Committee search for the association’s next President and CEO is expected to conclude, and an announcement on future leadership be made, later this summer.
