About David Gimpelson

As a results-driven executive with over 20 years of experience in the beverage alcohol industry, I have a proven track record of leading high-profile brands to success, from inception to acquisition. I specialize in brand development, international operations, and building high-performance teams that deliver strong business growth.Most recently, I’ve led Calirosa Tequila as President, overseeing its brand development and a successful brand merger. My focus on operational excellence, marketing strategies, and strategic partnerships has driven significant revenue growth and expanded distribution to over cases across the US and Canada.I’ve had the pleasure of working with brands like Casamigos Tequila, Chopin Vodka, and consulting on celebrity-backed ventures like Hampton Water Rosé, Old Camp Whiskey, and Wolf Moon Whiskey. My passion lies in cultivating partnerships and creating winning strategies that enhance brand equity and drive market growth.
