Mark Brown plans to leave his role as Sazerac CEO next month, according to recent reporting by Louisville Business First. The spirits leader, known for his long tenure at the company and daily industry newsletter, will transition to a new position as executive chairman.
The action is “part of a long-signaled and eight-year succession plan,” as the spirits company told Louisville Business First. The transition will go into effect on July 1. It’s currently unclear if Brown will continue publishing the Mark Brown Industry News Update newsletter.
