Starting on October 9, Colorado's largest craft brewer, New Belgium Brewing, will welcome current chief operating officer and president Christine Perich as its new Chief Executive Office. Perich, who has joined the company as controller in 2000 and took on the role of COO in 2008, is credited with the success of the transition of the brewery into a 100% employee-owned ESOP in 2013.
Co-founder and current CEO Kim Jordan is transitioning exclusively into the Executive Chair of the Brewery's Board of Directors where she will focus on long-term vision and strategy for the still-growing 24 year old company.
