Heineken USA President and CEO Dolf van den Brink (pictured on left in photo) has been named one of Fortune Magazine’s “40 Under 40.” The annual list of business leaders under 40 years old celebrates some of the most influential contributors in technology, media, finance, and now beer.
Ranked 8th among leaders like Mark Zuckerberg and the founders of Google, the is the first time anyone from the beer industry has been nominated, and Dolf is only one of two CPG executives highlighted on the tech-dominated list, Heineken says.
"We believe this honor reflects the culture and performance changes Heineken USA activated during his three years, all contributing to our ambition to be the leading upscale beer company in the U.S.," says a spokesman for the company.
