The St. Louis Business Journal has the scoop on what a bunch of men until recently employed by Anheuser-Busch are up to.
Five months after Belgium-based InBev completed its acquisition of Anheuser-Busch Cos., former senior and mid-evel brewery executives are launching new companies, teaching at universities around the world and taking their skills to other organizations eager to tap their expertise.
For instance, Doug Muhleman, the brewery’s former group vice president of brewing operations and technology, and his wife are growing grapes in Sonoma County.
The Business Journal reports other former brewery employees are taking more time before making their next move. Nearly all of A-B’s 17 former strategy committee members have left the company. Roughly 2,400 salaried employees, or about 40 percent of its St. Louis workforce, took early retirement buyouts or pink slips in December and January.
