About Larry Brown

Loyalty, trust and a well-rounded acumen of the beverage industry: Whether you are one of my customers, direct reports or executive leaders, you can count on these core principles when working with me. I am entrepreneurial and growth-minded with 20+ years of experience in leadership roles. Key bullets on my resume include beverage distributor management, oversight of top-tier national/regional retail and non-traditional accounts, leadership over aggressively positioned sales forces, and playing an integral role in building a small beverage company into one with a multi-million-dollar annual revenue.Previously as the Business Unit Sales Manager for Neuro , I wascounted upon to communicate and negotiate with principals at large-scale distributors across my territory, to include the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. I called upon key corporate clients ( national/regional) to penetrate markets and activate our brand within opportune environments. With an engaging personality, I also take pride in my ability to motivate and mobilize teams for success. My approach allows for team autonomy, but also demands full accountability of all sales professionals – including myself. My professional background showcases my loyalty to companies, as I have held long, progressive work histories with each. I also stand 100% behind the products I sell, and am passionate about their impact on my communities. With my true competitive nature, winning is expected. I count these as a couple of my true differentiators and look forward to building upon them in the future. Specialties: Sales Management, Beverage Industry, National/Regional Account Management, Distributor Management, Product Manufacturing, Vendor Relations, Sales Force Management, Customer Service & Satisfaction
