Posted in: Uncategorized
Diageo, whose brands include Johnnie Walker, J&B, Smirnoff, Tanqueray and Guinness, has appointed Syl Saller as its new chief marketing officer, replacing Andy Fennell, who has held the role since October 2008.
Ms. Saller becomes CMO after eight years as global innovation director at the London-based drinks giant, where her contributions include three premium drinks: Johnnie Walker Double Black, Singleton malt whisky and Snapp, an apple drink aimed at women, which is Diageo’s most successful new brand launch. She was previously marketing director for Diageo GB, and joined the company in 1999 from Allied Domecq Retail, where she was marketing development director.
Ivan Menezes, chief operating officer of Diageo, said in a statement, “Syl brings a great breadth of marketing and general management experience to her new position. In particular, her global track record on innovation performance over the past nine years has been outstanding.”
