About Susan Johnson
AboutI’m an award-winning entrepreneur and manufacturing leader specializing in contract production, and scalable beverage production for emerging and established spirits brands.As co-founder of Denning’s Point Distillery, I lead end-to-end manufacturing operations—developing and managing contract distilling, blending, bottling, and compliance-driven production programs with a strong emphasis on operational rigor, brand integrity, and repeatable systems. My work sits at the intersection of production, strategy, and execution: translating creative brand vision into reliable, high-quality output at scale.Alongside our contract services, I have built Denning’s Point into an award-winning spirits and hospitality brand, overseeing proprietary product lines, experiential programming, and on-site guest engagement. This dual perspective—as both manufacturer and brand owner—allows me to design production partnerships that are not only efficient, but deeply aligned with long-term brand growth.I’m known for clarity, structure, and steady leadership in complex environments, and I work best with teams and partners who value precision, transparency, and thoughtful expansion.Specialties:Contract Production & Co-Manufacturing | Distilling, Blending & Bottling Programs | Manufacturing Operations | Compliance & Production Planning | Brand & Product Development | Strategic Partnerships | Hospitality & Experiential Design | Team Leadership
