Glen Walter Named President of Labatt USA

InBev this week named Glen Walter president of Labatt USA, which aims to return to its roots as "America's Specialty Beer Company." Walter will lead the new Labatt USA organization, which will focus on selling and marketing all Labatt brands and Brahma in the United States following the recently announced agreement with Anheuser-Busch for the sales and distribution of InBev's European brands in the United States.

Walter, a longtime InBev USA and Labatt USA veteran, moves to the presidential position from his previous role as vice president of InBev USA's Atlantic Division.

Labatt USA, a division of InBev, the world's leading global brewer by volume, will import and market in the United States Brazil's Brahma, the 6th largest beer brand in the world, and Labatt Blue and Labatt Blue Light, the No. 1 Canadian beers in the United States. InBev employs more than 85,000 people, running operations in over 30 countries across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.
