Asahi Beverages appoints new CEO
Asahi Group Holdings has announced the appointment of Amanda Sellers as the new Group CEO of Asahi Beverages, its Oceania business.
Sellers has been acting as interim Group CEO since June.
Sellers joined Asahi Beverages almost 5 years ago as the Group Chief Financial Officer. She has been in the beverages industry for over 20 years, during which time she also held senior roles at Treasury Wines, including CFO Asia and Europe, and before that CFO Australia and NZ.
Sellers becomes the first female CEO of a regional headquarters within the Asahi Group.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be entrusted with the leadership of Asahi Beverages at a key time for our business as we continue to invest in and grow our operations across Australia and New Zealand,” she said.
“Asahi Beverages continued success in Oceania lies not just in our great brands, like VB, Asahi Super Dry, Schweppes, Long White, Cool Ridge and Allpress Espresso coffee, but our team’s passion and ability to innovate and meet our consumers’ needs in a rapidly evolving beverages market.”
“As interim Group CEO over the past 6 months I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know our customers and suppliers much better. I’m confident that through these valued partnerships, and the plans we’ve developed together, we’ll grow our businesses and deliver even more for our consumers.”
