Randy Golden

Randy Golden began his career in the beer business while a Texas Tech Rawls College of Business management student and serving as a campus representative for both the Miller Brewing Company and Lubbock Beverage. After 34 years in the beer business, Randy is recognized as one of the leaders within the industry, possessing a balance of both corporate and distributor experience.

During his 14 years with Miller Brewing Company, Randy served in sales management positions including senior corporate and field sales positions, ultimately holding the role of Regional Manager in Texas.

Following Miller, Randy assumed a leadership position with Andrews Distributing in Texas. His distributor career began as General Manager of the Corpus Christi, Texas operation. He moved to Dallas as Senior Vice-President, and then President, of all of Andrews’ operations in Texas. Randy led the Andrews’ organization in the acquisition of eight distributors in ten years, while consolidating into the Andrews’ portfolio not only Coors brands, but numerous import and craft brands. During his tenure, Andrews amassed a portfolio that included Miller, Coors, Heineken, Femsa, Crown, Sam Adams, Gambrinus, Guinness, and numerous craft/import brands that accounted for over 17 million cases and revenues of $350M. During his career with Andrews, Randy served on the Miller, Diageo, and Heineken distributor councils. Following his tenure with Andrews, Randy spent two years as a Vice President with Glazers Wholesale, the third largest wine and spirits distributor in the United States.

In August of 2007 Randy assumed a leadership role with SABMiller as Director of Distributor Development, eventually being promoted to the role of Vice President of Distributor Development. This came on the heels of the merger between the Miller Brewing Company and Coors Brewing. Randy was actively involved in establishing the network strategy for the SAB Miller/MolsonCoors joint venture, as well as working with distributors in the consolidation of the Miller and Coors brands. Under his leadership, MillerCoors increased their merged volume from 61% to 78%. Randy’s unique experience gives him a perspective from both sides of the industry, allowing him to understand the demands placed on the distributor while also having the perspective of what the supplier strives to achieve.
