Brown-Forman's long-serving Middle East head is to retire after 20 years with the company.
McIver has been with Brown-Forman for 20 years
Tony McIver, who built Brown-Forman's Middle East office from a one-person operation in Dubai to one that spans the Middle East and North Africa, will leave on 30 June next year. Robinson Brown IV, the company's North American region territory manager for Florida, will replace McIver.
Brown will oversee Brown-Forman's business in India, the Middle East and North Africa, Brown-Forman said.
In other moves, Tim Young will become marketing director for the company's India, Middle East, Africa, Caribbean, Central and South America region. Previously, Young was marketing director for India, Middle East, and Africa (IMEA). He now adds the Caribbean, Central and South America (CCSA) to his responsibilities.
The CCSA region's marketing function was formerly managed by Matias Bentel, who now becomes Brown-Forman's country manager for Mexico. Young and Bentel's new roles are effective 1 January.
