Beverage-Air, Victory Welcome New GM

Welbilt has promoted Korey Brownlee to the position of general manager of Beverage-Air and Victory Refrigeration, effective immediately. He’ll report directly to Oscar Villa, group president at Welbilt.

Brownlee joined the Beverage-Air and Victory procurement team in April 2018 as a senior buyer. He later moved up through the ranks, holding the positions of purchasing manager, director of operations, and most recently, vice president of operations.

Brownlee’s leadership has been instrumental in driving continuous operational improvements and fostering a culture of excellence, says Filippo Berti, chairman and CEO of Ali Group, in the release. “Korey’s extensive experience across procurement, supply chain and operations has given him a comprehensive understanding of our business,” Berti says. “I am confident that his leadership style and execution skills will drive continued growth and success for both Beverage-Air and Victory Refrigeration.”
