Will Meijer, incoming president, Canada sales, Molson Coors Beverage Company

Canada is a critical market for Molson Coors’ long-term growth, and Meijer brings deep industry expertise and a proven track record of strong leadership to the role. He rejoins Molson Coors after previously spending 16 years with the company in a variety of senior positions across the business, including president of Six Pints (Molson’s Canadian craft beer division), vice president of sales for Ontario and Atlantic Canada and vice president of brand activation.

“We believe Will’s deep understanding of the Canadian beverage alcohol landscape, combined with his strong leadership experience, make him the right leader to help drive our business forward,” said President and CEO Rahul Goyal. “Will knows our business well, understands our team and our customers, and brings valuable perspective that should help position our iconic portfolio of brands to win with consumers in Canada.”

Meijer currently serves as executive vice president of sales at Arterra Wines Canada, where he’s led the Canadian sales organization with a focus on market share growth, execution excellence and value optimization. In that role, Meijer has been responsible for representing the company across Canada’s wine industry while developing and executing national sales and customer marketing strategies and identifying new business and brand development opportunities.

“After 16 years with Molson Coors previously in my career, I’m honoured to return to this great team and begin an exciting next chapter,” said Meijer. “I’m committed to doing right by our people, our legacy and this business. Molson Coors’ strategy focuses on getting much closer to the consumers who enjoy our products and the customers who sell them each day. That vision energizes me, and I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and support the team on our journey toward growth.”

Meijer holds a Masters in Business Administration from the Shulich School of Business at York University and a Business Administration degree from the Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario. He and his family live in Halton Hills, just west of Toronto. Outside of work, Meijer enjoys travelling with his family, skiing and mountain biking and can often be found enjoying a cold Creemore Lager on a patio by the water in the summer.

Meijer’s appointment follows the departure of previous President, Canada Sales, Chantalle Butler, who left the business in February to pursue her next opportunity outside the company.

In February, Molson Coors announced its new long-range strategy, called Horizon 2030, which focuses on building a scaled portfolio of strong brands across the total-beverage spectrum, from iconic beer brands in Canada such as Molson Canadian and Coors Light, high-end beer brands like Madri Excepcional, and flavoured adult beverages such as Coors Seltzer and Simply Spiked. Molson Coors’ portfolio in Canada also includes local favourites such as Creemore Springs, Brasseur du Montreal and Trou du Diable. The company has two major corporate offices in Toronto and Montreal, along with nine breweries across Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Newfoundland and New Brunswick.
