US-based Three Chord Bourbon has promoted Michael Nanula from chief commercial officer to CEO.
Nanula (below, left) is set to take over from his uncle, Paul Nanula, who has held the role for around eight years and will remain involved as a board member. The recently-appointed head will oversee all aspects of the business, including “capital raising and the activities of his four departmental directors”.
Three Chord was founded in 2017 by US musician Neil Giraldo (above, right), who chairs the company. Michael Nanula joined the business at its inception as senior director of marketing, following 17 years at Bitcoin Financial Group.
The Kentucky-based distiller’s core products include Blended Bourbon Whiskey, Amplify Rye, Strange Collaboration, Tennessee Straight Whiskey and Bourbon Cream.
“We have so many exciting things in the works and have nothing but optimism for the future as we move into the next phase,” Nanula said.
Last month, US-based WhistlePig Whiskey recruited Charles Gibb from mixer business Fever-Tree to become its chief executive.
