Global beverage giant Diageo has announced the appointment of Dave Lewis, former Tesco CEO, as its new Chief Executive Officer. With over 30 years of leadership experience spanning retail and FMCG, Lewis is expected to steer Diageo into its next phase of strategic growth and innovation.
Under Lewis’s leadership at Tesco, the company underwent one of the most notable corporate turnarounds in recent years, driven by operational efficiency, customer-centric strategy, and disciplined execution. His proven track record in brand transformation, sustainability, and global market expansion positions him strongly to accelerate Diageo’s premiumisation strategy and digital growth agenda.
Dave Lewis said, “Diageo’s legacy of innovation and its incredible portfolio of brands make this an exciting opportunity. I look forward to building on its strong foundations to drive sustainable growth and lasting value creation.”
The appointment signals Diageo’s continued focus on global leadership excellence, consumer experience, and long-term transformation within the premium beverage industry.
