DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2018 / NEW AGE BEVERAGES CORPORATION (NASDAQ: NBEV), the Colorado-based healthy lifestyle company focused on becoming the world’s leading healthy beverage company, today announced the appointment of Gregory C. Fea as its new Non-Executive Chairman of its Board of Directors.

Mr. Fea was chosen by his peers on the New Age Board to take on the leadership role following his outstanding service as an independent director for New Age over the past 18 months. In that period, Mr. Fea has helped strategically guide New Age to uplist onto the NASDAQ exchange, complete four acquisitions, capture more than $15 million in cost synergies, and execute its one-stop-shop of healthy beverages strategy. He has oversaw the re-creation of a brand portfolio all competing in the growth segments of the beverage industry, a doubling of retail distribution and penetration to alternative channels, E-Commerce, and Foodservice, and has overseen the strengthening of New Age’s balance sheet with ≈$40MM in cash, $0 debt, over $100MM in assets, and 11 patents.

Mr. Fea brings a wealth of global experience in the consumer goods industry and depth of experience with joint ventures and distribution partnerships with major beverage companies including The Coca-Cola Company. He was previously the Chief Executive Officer for Illy Coffee, and held various General Management leadership positions with Danone, Cadbury Schweppes, and EJ Gallo. Mr. Fea commented, “Neil Fallon did a superb job as Chairman over the past few years, and it is an honor to be taking over the reins from him. New Age is now a very different company than it was at inception a little more than two years ago, and I look forward to helping lead it to the next level.”
New Age recently announced its planned launch of CBD-infused beverages and completed an at-the-market financing of near $40 million. Brent Willis, Chief Executive Officer of New Age commented, “We have very specific intentions for our newly raised capital. I look forward to working even more closely with Greg in deploying our resources to create the most value for shareowners, and leading New Age to the next milestone in our journey to become the world’s leading healthy beverage company.”
