Jake White

District Manager
4+ years of experience in both distributor and supplier sides of the liquor industry. Worked for distributor Southern Glazer's, hitting my sales quota every month for two years. Worked in sales and account/brand management for the Chicago supplier CH Distillery. In 2019, our CH team brought Jeppson's Malort sales up 38% from 2018. We did this by direct sales, marketing, and hands-on promotion. At CH, I organized liquor tastings, bar events, distillery tours, and meetings with Bar/Entertainment groups in Chicago. In this position, I learned how to manage brands and relationships on a much larger scale. I am seeking a sales position in any industry, and am willing to travel or move. Message for contact info.
