About

As Director of Public Affairs - Asia, ANZPI and IMENA for Brown-Forman, I am responsible for the effective delivery of public affairs, regulatory, public policy and ESG strategies for our business across Asia Pacific, India and the Middle East. I sit on the global Legal Leadership Team at Brown Forman, as well as the ANZPI Leadership Team and the Asia Extended Leadership Team.

Externally, I represent Brown-Forman on the board of the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking (IARD), the governing executive of Spirits & Cocktails Australia, Spirits New Zealand, the Asia Pacific International Spirits & Wine Alliance (APISWA), the International Spirits and Wine Association of India (ISWAI) and the Foreign Spirits Producers Association in China. I am Chair of the Governance Committee of APISWA.

I'm passionate about maintaining a vibrant, sustainable and responsible alcohol industry, while celebrating life's experiences and consuming our wonderful brands in a responsible manner.

Interested in keeping in touch with the many stakeholders who cross my professional path daily.
