David drives an incredible leadership group to deliver the day-to-day operations and strategic direction of this global business, as it continues its rapid growth pattern. He has also led the charge as BrewDog has built its UK and international bars business (adding over 80 locations in the last 5 years….) and steers a passionate team who lead the business.

BrewDog have grown from 2 men and a dog, 15 years ago, with a simple mission to make other people as passionate about great beer as we are, to an international brand with a billion pound plus valuation, and an army of over 200,000 “Equity Punk” investors around the globe.

The business celebrated its 15th Anniversary by launching Hop Stock, an innovative employee ownership programme, and by reimagining the hospitality model by sharing 50% of the profits from each BrewDog location with the team who work there.
