Diageo has announced that Barry O’Sullivan will become Managing Director of its business in Great Britain, effective 1st July.
Nuno Teles, the current MD of Diageo GB, will move to the same role in Mexico when O’Sullivan takes up his new position.
O’Sullivan has spent the past four years as MD of Diageo Ireland, delivering growth in the market and driving investment in its St. James’s Gate site in Dublin.
He joined Diageo Ireland in 2021 after serving as MD for Mars Petcare in Australia and New Zealand, with previous roles for Mars in Mexico, the Middle East, Turkey and Africa.
“I cannot wait to get started in Diageo’s home market of Great Britain, where some of the country’s most iconic and loved brands are at the heart of celebrations,” said O’Sullivan.
“After four wonderful years in Ireland, I look forward to bringing my experience to this new role and build on the incredible legacy that Nuno leaves behind.”
Teles said: “While I am excited by the opportunity ahead, I will be very sad to leave the remarkable market that is Diageo GB. Barry is a brilliant leader and hugely respected across the business, and I have strong confidence that Diageo GB will thrive under his leadership and continue our commitment of brilliant execution.”
Diageo also announced that Louise Ryan was being promoted to become the new MD of Diageo Ireland.
