Foley Family Wines has reorganised its executive team and created a new sales and marketing position.

The California-based wine company said yesterday (4 March) that Kerry Manahan-Ehlow will become chief operating officer for sales and marketing. She joins Foley from Chalk Hill Estate Vineyards and Winery, where she had been vice president of sales and marketing.

Manahan-Ehlow will assume responsibility for Foley’s global sales, its New Zealand brands in the UK and Europe, as well as marketing, public relations and tasting room operations.

“We are excited to welcome Kerry to Foley Family Wines,” said company chairman and CEO, William Foley, to whom Manahan-Ehlow will report in to. “She brings a wide range of sales, marketing and operational experience to our organization, having worked for, and consulted with, some of the largest and most successful wine companies in Napa and Sonoma over the last 25 years.”

William Foley has assumed the role of president-CEO-chairman as part of the reshuffle.

Foley Family Wines is based in Sonoma at the Sebastiani winery.
