El Bandido Yankee Tequila Company is delighted to announce the addition of Matthew Slosek to its leadership team. With over 25 years of experience in the spirits industry, Matthew brings a wealth of knowledge and expertize that will propel the brand to new heights in the ultra-competitive agave spirits market.
Matthew joins El Bandido Yankee after serving as President of Casa Komos Brand Group, where he directly managed the Superbird Tequila & RTD portfolio as well as Doladira Aperativo. His extensive career includes a decade at LVMH USA, where he served as Sales Director for New York and New Jersey before becoming Global Vice President of Belvedere for the Americas and Global Travel Retail. Prior to that, he spent 15 years at Bacardi, covering the Northeast and ultimately serving as Director of Sales for New York. In 2022, Matthew founded 21st Amendment Imports to leverage his industry expertise and relationships to assist global brands in entering the U.S. market.
“This is an incredible opportunity with a brand that is perfectly positioned for immense success in the rapidly growing tequila category,” said Matthew. “El Bandido Yankee has the potential to be a dominant force in the industry, and I’m excited to lead the charge alongside an incredible team. Together, we will make bold moves, embrace innovation, and focus on creating genuine consumer connections. The future is bright, and we are going to win by staying ahead of the curve and delivering what our consumers want.”
El Bandido Yankee Tequila owner Jim Bob Morris added “Matt’s a Bandido at heart, and his edge is exactly what the El Bandido Yankee family needs. He understands that our tequila isn’t just a spirit, it’s a lifestyle, empowering those who chase life unapologetically. He respects the tequila process, honours our root and is committed to our mission of delivering the best, uncompromised tequila across the border…where the makers ‘salud’ the drinker for a taste so smooth, it’s criminal.”
El Bandido Yankee Tequila Company continues to disrupt the tequila industry with its commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and authentic experiences. With Matthew’s leadership, the brand is set to further solidify its position as a key player in the premium tequila space.
