After three fruitful years at the head of Marie Brizard Wine &
Spirits’ global travel retail business, Kevin Baker has announced his departure
from the company to pursue personal interests.
Baker has racked up a good 30 years of experience in the liquor
industry - with previous roles at the Nuance Group, Brown-Forman, Diageo and
World of Patria International earning him his well-known and respected status –
and has spent the last three years as MBWS’s Global Travel Retail Director;
which he has described as being ‘one of the most exciting periods of his life’.
“I am somewhat sad to be leaving the industry after so long, and
want to thank all those that have contributed to a tremendous experience. I’ve made
many friends along the way and it’s unfortunate that I won’t get to see them
frequently at the various exhibitions and social events, but I will of course
stay in touch,” says Baker. “However, I am also excited to start this next
chapter of my life, where I can spend more time with my family and do the
things I love (not that I didn’t love work!). You could say my real life is
only just beginning!”
