As DC Brau revingorates sales team, business development shifts focus to marketing opportunities, relationship building
“We are thrilled to welcome both Stephens to the DC Brau family,” said Brandon Skall, DC Brau chief executive and co-founder. “With Steve Carnes’ extensive experience on both the distributor and sales side of the beer business, our sales team is in a great position for continued growth throughout the Northeast Corridor and beyond.”
As DC Brau sales manager – Virginia and Maryland, Taylor will move from brand ambassador to this new role as the main contact for the Virginia and Maryland region. Tanthorey will be served well by her creative skills and relationship building as she moves toward a more traditional business development position, shifting focus away from sales toward marketing opportunities.
