Beam Suntory has come a long way since 1795, when Jacob Beam produced his first barrel of whiskey in the wilds of Kentucky. In 2014, Suntory – a leading Japan-based company with a family heritage that dates to 1899 – acquired Beam for $16 billion, and today Beam Suntory is the world’s third-largest premium spirits company. In this program, Matt Shattock, Chairman and CEO of Beam Suntory Inc., discusses how this company with centuries old roots has evolved into a global leader with the energy and ambition of a start-up. Mr. Shattock shares the keys to the new company’s successful integration and the business’s strategy to outperform its market.

Speaker:
Matt Shattock, Chairman and CEO, Beam Suntory Inc.
