Sonoma wine company Don Sebastiani & Sons has promoted its CFO to the COO role, following the previous incumbent's decision to retire.
The group said today that CFO Omar Percich will step into COO Tom Hawkins' position "immediately". Hawkins will retire at the end of the year.
Percich joined the winery in 2017. He was previously controller and CFO at Foley Family Wines in Napa.
"It is important to our family to strive to promote from within and we are lucky to have such a team of bright and energetic employees," said Don Sebastiani & Sons president Donny Sebastiani. "It is also fortunate that Omar has been able to work directly with Tom to make this a seamless transition.
"We are very grateful to Tom and for the years of hard work he has put into our company and wish him well in his retirement."
