Jay Kosek Email & Phone Number

Resilient. Creative. Analytic. Flexible. Organized. Forward-thinking. Puts in a lot of hours in a week, not always M-F 9-5.Does this make sense? Maybe not. But I try not to worry about making sense. I try to worry more about making a difference. That ethos has served me well over 25 professional years. My combination of left- and right-brained talent, skills, and experiences have helped me add value everywhere I've been, regardless of challenges or needs. I love educating others while continuing to learn myself.Currently, I help MSW by managing our brand identity, digital marketing, e-commerce, website content and design, creative copy, offsite marketing events, and logistical support. I leverage our communications channels, coordinate with my colleagues, and partner with outside individuals and organizations to build the business. When it comes to distilled spirits, I advocate for the craft spirits industry and its products in particular, encouraging others to take chances and try new and unusual things. I enjoy hearing about how regulations differ from state to state, and discovering common ground for shared success across states and between distilleries.And in case you're wondering...yes, this means that sometimes I have to taste whiskey at 10am and share what I think as part of my job. It's a real slog. ;)
