Ursus Breweries' top people are in charge of brands with 300m-euro sales

Timişoreana, one of the oldest Romanian beer brands, with sales ZF puts at 150m euros annually, is currently in the hands of three expats and two Romanians, the people making up Ursus Breweries' management team.

Executive turnover has been the top issue at the brewer, the more so as this year started with the decision of Stephan Maria Weber of leaving the domestic operations of SABMiller.
In June, the company's reins were taken by Gary Whitlie, born in the UK. He has been working with SABMiller for 26 years.
Another change was related to the position of sales and distribution vice-president, filled starting September 2010 by Victor Armaşelu, 39. Another member part of the company's management is Grant McKenzie, 36, marketing vice-president since March 2009.
The company's management team is complemented by Krzysztof Andrzejewski, financial vice-president, and by Cristian Popescu, HR vice-president.
SABMiller's sales in Romania stood at 1.2 billion RON (284.2 million euros) in fiscal 2009, down over 12% in euros.
