New Belgium Brewing Names New CEO

By December 21, 2023Top News, VIPs

Fort Collins, Colorado-based New Belgium Brewing announced that Shaun Belongie, Chief Marketing Officer of five years, will become its next Chief Executive Officer. Following the departure of former CEO Steve Fechheimer, Lion Group, New Belgium’s parent company, conducted an extensive search and interview process, assessing a range of both internal and external candidates. Belongie will take the helm of a business that has “seen tremendous growth over the last several years,” the company said. New Belgium is North America’s largest craft beer platform after joining forces with Bell’s Brewery in 2022. Danielle McLarnon, who has served as Interim CEO since August, will return to her role as Chief Financial Officer as Belongie transitions into the CEO role. The company said since joining the brewery in 2018, Belongie’s “commitment to driving positive business results through a differentiated way of doing business will ensure New Belgium’s strong positioning for the future, while remaining true to the hallmarks of the brewery’s coveted people-centric culture.”
