VICTOR, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2023 – Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ), a leading beverage alcohol company, announced the appointment of Ricardo Dalmas as Senior Vice President, Strategy, Insights and Analytics (SIA). Ricardo will lead the SIA function at Constellation, leveraging data and consumer-centric thinking to inspire what is next for Constellation’s brands, innovations, channels, and investments.

Constellation’s SIA team serves as an internal strategic consulting and execution partner providing actionable insights, counsel, and data to the organization in alignment with the consumer-led decision making that is foundational to the business. This function is part of the larger Growth, Strategy & Digital organization focused on driving innovation, delivering on current and future trends through consumer insights, and enabling industry-leading digital transformation. In today's dynamic environment, being both consumer-obsessed and future-focused remain core tenets of Constellation's approach to building brands people love and bringing Dalmas on board demonstrates the organization’s commitment to these focus areas.

Dalmas brings significant consumer and corporate strategy, insights and analytics, and brand and commercial leadership experience to the role. He joins Constellation from Nestle USA where he led the Consumer & Marketplace Insights team responsible for insights and analytics across the company’s U.S. food and beverage divisions with household name brands. Dalmas also led Strategic Initiatives at Ventas Inc., a real estate investment trust with a diversified portfolio, and held previous leadership roles at McDonald’s and PepsiCo.

“Our SIA team embeds the voice and understanding of the consumer into everything we do, using data-driven insights across beer, wine and spirits to fuel our strategy,” said Mallika Monteiro, Executive Vice President, Chief Growth, Strategy and Digital Officer at Constellation Brands. “Since consumer-led decision making drives all aspects of our business, Ricardo’s notable success in this area makes him an exemplary steward of our strategic principles and leader for this team within our organization.”

Dalmas earned his MBA at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He currently sits on the Board of Directors for America Needs You – IL, a nonprofit organization helping first-generation college students achieve their academic and career ambitions.

“As consumers demand more from brands and product experiences, I am excited to join a high-caliber team responsible for writing and delivering the next chapter of Constellation’s successful growth strategy,” said Dalmas.
