Constellation Brands has appointed Alex Alvarez as chief supply chain officer for its beer division, marking a significant leadership move for the Corona and Modelo maker. Alvarez brings extensive supply chain experience from previous roles at Suntory Global Spirits and Brown-Forman. The appointment comes as beverage makers face packaging cost pressures amid trade tensions.
