Roust Corporation, the largest integrated spirits producer and wholesaler in Central and Eastern Europe and the second-largest vodka producer in the world, reports today the appointment of Scott Oliver as CEO of Roust Americas.
Scott Oliver has over 25 years of experience in sales and marketing in the beverage alcohol industry. Having begun his career with Treasury Wine Estates in Australia, he moved quickly through the ranks having held a few managerial sales and marketing jobs in Australia before taking on the position of Export Director South Pacific. He relocated with the company to Vancouver in 2001 where he set up and ran the very fruitful TWE operation in Canada. Scott at that point joined Select Wines and Spirits as COO helping fuel growth for the Rémy Cointreau and Concha y Toro portfolios before setting up and dealing with the Roust business in Canada.
In his new position, Scott Oliver will report straightforwardly to Pavel Merkul, CEO of Roust Corporation, and be responsible for all aspects of the company’s consolidated business throughout the Americas, which is a priority for the Group. Scott Oliver will complete strategic planning and operational management of the company, including sales, marketing, finance, HR, production, supply and legal support of the business.
Pavel Merkul, CEO of Roust Corporation, remarks: “Since 2013 when Scott joined Roust, he has gained a profound comprehension of our wide scope of value brands and demonstrated steady superior. The interior talent promotion is a key piece of our company strategy, and I’m glad to offer Scott this new challenge inside the organization.”
