Creek Water Whiskey has announced a new CEO, Anthony Moniello, to lead the spirit brand’s strategic direction. Moniello most recently worked with Diageo, one of the largest spirits companies in the world, for nine years in leadership roles across sales, marketing and consumer planning. His successful track record deploying brand activation and field marketing activities for innovation brands and industry giants like Tanqueray Gin, Johnnie Walker, Captain Morgan Rum and Don Julio Tequila, will provide deep industry experience to guide Creek Water Whiskey’s distribution and growth.
“We met with Anthony several months ago in the process to identify the right candidate. It was clear that his vision for the brand matched Creek Water’s goal to achieve widespread distribution opportunities to fans across the U.S. and abroad,” said Scott Bolin, CEO of Next Century Spirits. “Creek Water Whiskey has achieved tremendous growth since its inception in 2018; with Anthony’s leadership and vast experience in management and operations in the spirits industry, we will reach an elevated level of success for this grassroots, innovative brand.”
The new CEO will lead Creek Water Whiskey’s distribution and expansion plan, revitalizing the go-to-market approach by focusing on the spirit’s established brand world created by American rapper/musician, Yelawolf.
