Constellation Brands Appoints E. Yuri Hermida as New EVP, Chief Growth & Strategy Officer

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ), a leading beverage alcohol company, today announced the appointment of E. Yuri Hermida as the company’s new Executive Vice President, Chief Growth & Strategy Officer. In this role, Hermida will be responsible for Consumer Insights & Innovation, Digital, Transformation, Media, New Business Ventures, and Strategy & Analytics. He will report directly to Bill Newlands, President and Chief Executive Officer, and will serve as a member of Constellation’s executive management committee.

Hermida is a proven, global leader with a track record of driving results across diverse CPG companies in North America, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. He brings strong general management, operational, and P&L discipline coupled with extensive marketing, research and development, and innovation expertise to the team. Before joining Constellation Brands, Hermida was with Sovos Brands, one of the fastest growing companies of scale in CPG. At Sovos Brands, he served as President of the company and was Chief Growth Officer prior to that appointment. Before Sovos Brands, he spent four years at Reckitt in Europe and North America where he drove growth for the business units he led.

“We are excited to welcome Yuri to the team,” said Newlands. “His extensive experience across the CPG sector and diverse perspective will benefit our company as we continue to look for ways to evolve our business in line with shifting consumer and category trends to seek to ensure long-term, sustainable industry-leading growth.”

Originally from Mexico City, Hermida began his career there in brand management with The Procter & Gamble Company. He then managed several brands in their food and beverage portfolio, based out of their offices in Venezuela. Hermida continued to assume leadership positions with increasing responsibility, holding country and general manager roles around the world, and leading large-scale businesses in international markets for the company.

“I am thrilled to be joining the leadership team at Constellation Brands,” said Hermida. “I look forward to the opportunity to drive sustainable growth for a company with such iconic brands that I have had a long-standing affinity for.”

Hermida succeeds Mallika Monteiro, who previously led the company’s Growth Organization where she advanced the company’s innovation and digital capabilities and more recently assumed additional responsibilities as Executive Vice President and Managing Director for the company’s beer brand portfolio. In this role, Monteiro is responsible for all aspects of brand marketing and advertising, trade marketing and merchandising, as well as field, lifestyle, and experiential marketing for the company’s high-end beer brands. These responsibilities include elements critical to building and sustaining momentum for the company’s industry-leading Beer portfolio in an increasingly dynamic and competitive consumer landscape. Monteiro will continue to report directly to Bill Newlands and serve as a member of Constellation’s executive management committee.

“I look forward to the momentum Mallika will continue to help drive for our iconic beer brands,” said Newlands. “Her prior experience in beer and brand marketing and deep understanding of the consumer will help ensure our brands continue to resonate with current and new consumers alike, as we work to drive continued growth and unlock new opportunities.”
