The Board of Directors of Bacardí Limited announced this week the departure of president and chief executive officer Ed Shirley, who will return to retirement after a 36-year career.
Bacardí Corp. recently sponsored its first “Women in Leadership” workshop in Puerto Rico, incorporating the program established by parent Bacardí Limited in 2011 and that has been implemented in 17 countries where the company operates.
Some 600 members representing several generations of the Bacardí family gathered at the Cataño distillery to mark the rummaker’s 150th anniversary late last week as part of the global celebrations taking place this year.
