Bacardi Limited, the world’s largest privately held spirits company, has appointed Dave Ingram as chief supply chain officer.

The Bermudian-based company said Mr Ingram brings 30 years of supply chain and strategic sourcing experience to Bacardi, where he will lead the end-to-end supply chain experience — from achieving the company’s goal of sustainably sourcing key ingredients and leading operations sites across the globe to managing a robust supply chain track that brings products to shelves and consumers’ hands.

Mr Ingram, who joins from Unilever, will be based in Geneva, Switzerland and report to chief executive officer Mahesh Madhavan and joins the company’s global leadership team starting on September 1.
