CKBG has appointed luxury brand leader Leslie Serrero as International Managing Director, based in Paris. Serrero joins the CKBG leadership team after 10 years with the executive suite at LVMH, having leadership roles most recently at Fendi and Dior. This announcement coincides with the closure of CKBG’s latest round of financing, securing $15 million in additional funding and on the heels of a strategic minority investment by Spirit of Gallo in Tequila Komos (CKBG’s flagship brand), and the news that CKBG will be leading commercial operations of Superbird, its line of tequila-based ready to drink canned cocktails.
