EAST IMPERIAL APPOINTS NEW HEAD OF SALES FOR NORTH AMERICA
East Imperial, the global purveyor of ultra-premium beverages,
is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Zonghetti as its
Head of Sales for North America.
Mark brings extensive experience to East Imperial and joins from
Armand de Brignac, the luxury brand jointly owned by Shawn Jay-Z
Carter and Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, where he was a Regional
Sales Director operating across the US & Canada. Mark was also
a Regional Sales Manager at Freixenet Mionetto during a period of
significant sales growth and spent over ten years at Southern
Glazers Wine & Spirits, one of the largest distributors in the
United States.
The announcement reflects East Imperial's ongoing progress in
deepening the brand's global presence, with the US representing a
key strategic territory. Based in Chicago, Mark will report
directly to CEO & Founder, Tony Burt, to deliver the company's
US strategic initiatives for which the company has been laying the
groundwork since 2019. His initial focus will be to work closely
with current distribution partners, including RNDC (California) and
BreakThru Beverages (Florida), to widen the Company's geographic
reach across the region, with further agreements expected to be in
place by early 2022.
Tony Burt, CEO & Founder, of East Imperial, commented:
"We are delighted to welcome Mark to East Imperial, having been
attracted by his deep understanding of the distribution landscape
in the US and track record of sales growth which he is hungry to
replicate for East Imperial. With North America representing an
important market for East Imperial, Mark will be a huge asset to us
as we extend our distribution reach with our current distribution
partners and drive the business forward across new geographies,
formats and channels. We look forward to meeting the rest of his
team as we grow our on-the-ground presence in the coming
months".
Mark Zonghetti, Head of Sales for North America, commented:
"I am thrilled to be joining East Imperial, whose detailed
go-to-market plans to enter the US market, commitment to build a
successful brand and intellectual rigour throughout the interview
process was a key pull despite meeting a number of other
fast-growing luxury drinks companies. I have been hugely impressed
by the calibre of the East Imperial team throughout the interview
process and have great confidence that, together with the wider
team, we can make East Imperial the global leader in the luxury
mixers market."
