Prior to ATG, Lewin held senior sales and marketing leadership
positions at Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, Paramount Brands,
and Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey, where he led the growth of Veuve
Clicquot into the number one champagne brand in the U.S. market.
Stephen started his career with Joseph E. Seagram & Sons.
“I’m very excited to join the Conecuh team and look forward to
bringing my prior experience from both inside and outside of the
wine and spirits industry to further accelerate the growth of
Conecuh Brands,” said Lewin.
Roy Danis will move into a Senior Advisory role and will help
with the transition of Lewin as the new President & CEO.
“Conecuh has been my baby for so many years so this is a little
bittersweet for me,” said Danis. “However, I feel confident that
I’m leaving at a time when the company is well established and
poised to deliver strong results for its shareholders and
distributor partners here in the U.S. and around the world.”
James J. Ammeen, Chairman of Conecuh Brands, added, “We will
always be grateful to Roy for his efforts in building this company,
and we’re excited to have Stephen joining the team. His
entertainment background coupled with a track record of success in
the drinks industry will prove beneficial as we get ready to open
the Conecuh Ridge Distillery in Troy, Alabama, and look to take the
company to the next level.”
