    Partner & Board Member
    Krug Bier Brewery Jul 2008 - Present
    Belo Horizonte Area, Brazil
    Founded in 1997, KRUG is currently the largest independent craft brewery in Brazil having a strong presence with important market share in the third largest Brazilian market of Minas Gerais State.When I joined Krug in 2008, most of its sale volume came from proprietary bars and restaurants, and its level of debt was high. I´ve changed the approach to the market, sold all company´s bars and restaurants, and invested in sales and distribution, while reduced its debt turning its profile to a asset light operation. We have focused on partnership with third party distributors across the State of Minas Gerais and built an important infrastructure for the home delivery of craft beer. As a result, Krug increased its margin making possible a significant brand and market investment, delivering the impressive compounded yearly growth rate of 33% for the last eight years.
