Diageo has today (10 November 2025) announced the appointment of Dave Lewis to the role of CEO and executive director, effective 1 January 2026. Lewis steps into the role following the departure of former CEO Debra Crew, who stepped down in July. Nik Jhangiani, the company’s chief financial officer, has been serving as interim CEO since.

Located in Southern Minas Gerais, the brewery aims to enhance the company’s supply chain by bringing production closer to key consumer hubs in Brazil’s Southeast region. With an initial capacity of up to five hectolitres per year, the plant will produce Heineken and Amstel products – both 100% pure malt brands.
