Diageo said Wednesday that former Chief Executive Officer Ivan
Menezes has died following a brief illness.
The London-based maker of Johnnie Walker Scotch whisky, Guinness
stout and Smirnoff vodka said that Menezes was at the creation of
Diageo and was with the company for more than 25 years.
On Monday, the company had named Debra Crew as interim chief
executive officer with immediate effect, ahead of her planned
joining date as CEO in July 1.
Menezes is credited with growing the business significantly
since he became CEO in July 2013, with Diageo now selling around
200 brands in more than 180 markets.
"During his decade as CEO, Ivan oversaw an outstanding period of
change, growth and high performance. Diageo made huge strides
towards his ambition that Diageo should become one of the best
performing, most trusted and respected companies in the world," the
company said.
