New Belgium CFO promoted to president

FORT COLLINS – Christine Perich, longtime chief financial officer and chief operations officer of Fort Collins-based New Belgium Brewing, has been promoted to president of the company.

Perich, who started as CFO with New Belgium in 2004, has overseen all aspects of operations since 2009. At the end of 2012 she guided the brewery through a transaction that resulted in New Belgium becoming a 100-percent employee-owned company.

Perich now will have oversight of all day-to-day operations and the construction and integration of the company’s second production facility in Asheville, N.C., which is slated for completion in late 2015. She will continue to report directly to co-founder and chief executive Kim Jordan and New Belgium’s board of directors.
