Matthew Slosek Takes the Helm as Vice President and GM at El Bandido Yankee Tequila
El Bandido Yankee Tequila Company recently made waves in the spirits industry by announcing the appointment of Matthew Slosek as their Vice President and General Manager. With an impressive background spanning over 25 years within the spirits sector, Slosek is set to lead the brand into a new era of growth and innovation.
Prior to joining El Bandido Yankee, Matthew Slosek held the position of President at Casa Komos Brand Group, where his leadership was pivotal in managing the Superbird Tequila Ready-to-Drink (RTD) portfolio alongside Doladira Aperitivo. His deep understanding of the business was honed during a decade-long tenure at LVMH USA, serving various roles including Sales Director for New York and New Jersey. Slosek eventually ascended to the role of Global Vice President for Belvedere in the Americas and Global Travel Retail.
In addition to his extensive career at LVMH, Slosek spent 15 fruitful years at Bacardi, where he emphasized his strategic sales abilities while overseeing operations in the Northeast. His journey also led him to establish 21st Amendment Imports in 2022, designed to leverage his industry connections and expertise to assist international brands entering the U.S. market.
Expressing his excitement regarding this new chapter, Slosek remarked, "This is an incredible opportunity with a brand that is perfectly positioned for immense success in the rapidly growing tequila category. 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."
Jim Bob Morris, the owner of El Bandido Yankee Tequila, echoed Slosek's sentiments, stating, "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, honors our roots, 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 remains unwaveringly committed to redefining the tequila landscape through its dedication to high-quality craftsmanship and authentic consumer experiences. With Slosek at the helm, the brand is poised not only to solidify but also to expand its footprint as a key player in the competitive premium tequila market.
