He spent over 14 years with Pernod Ricard in a range of leadership roles, with a particular focus on driving strategic and transformational projects.
“In his new role, Gaurav will oversee Brown-Forman’s operations in the high-growth and strategic markets of India and South Asia,“ the leading US-based alcoholic beverage company said in a statement. He will report to Eveline Albarracin, VP, Managing Director, Brown-Forman ANZPI IMENA Turkiye, and will be based out of Gurugram.
“On behalf of Brown-Forman, it gives me great pleasure to welcome Gaurav Sabharwal on-board. India and South Asia have been identified as key emerging markets for us.

“I am excited to join Brown-Forman and look forward to leading our committed team in one of the most dynamic and fast-growing spirits markets in the world.

Additionally, the recent acquisitions of Gin Mare and Diplomático, along with much loved Woodford Reserve provide a big opportunity for accelerating premium brands from our global portfolio as we aim to step change the business in India,” Sabharwal added.
