"His experience and finance-oriented mindset will be valuable as we scale up our Agave business to grow to the next level."

Alejandro Reynoso said: "I am excited to join the talented team in Mexico and I am eager to collaborate with colleagues to assure the supply of agave in the short and long term. I will be looking to help achieve quality throughout the crop cycle to enable us to harvest the greatest number of kilos of sugar for Tequila production."
