The well-known American cigarette company Swisher has appointed Neil Kiely as President and CEO, and Jeffrey Brown as Executive VP of Sales. Kiely previously served as President of Swisher, while Brown was the General Manager of Swisher's sister company, E-Alternative Solutions (EAS).
As the President and CEO, Kelly will lead Swisher Company's strategic growth, transformation, and diversification in their investment portfolio. She brings over 30 years of experience in developing and transforming consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies.
The first action taken by Keely as President and CEO was to hire Brown to lead the sales team at Swisher. Brown has over 37 years of industry and leadership experience in multiple CPG categories including cigars, e-cigarettes, and CBD. At EAS, Brown was responsible for staffing the team and developing and implementing strategic plans for new products.
Since joining EAS in 2014, Brown has made significant progress and demonstrated leadership abilities and acumen required to manage Swisher's global sales strategy," said Keely. "With experience in leading large sales teams and innovatively launching new products, Brown has earned this opportunity and has the capability to lead us in continuing to transform and diversify our product portfolio.
The appointments of Kiley and Brown were made following the recent appointment of Chris Howard as Executive Vice President in charge of external affairs and new product compliance. Kiley, Brown, and Howard are members of the company's executive leadership team, which also includes Jacinta Carter, Executive Vice President of HR, Personnel, and Culture; Christopher Casey, Executive Vice President and General Counsel; and Edward Barlow, Senior Vice President of Operations.
