Brewdog CEO Out as Company Reorients | Business and Finance News
Description
James Taylor, Brewdog’s controversial CEO, has stepped down just months after the company’s surprise $33M acquisition by Tilray Brands — a move that came amid a $500M+ debt crisis and the shuttering of 38 bars, costing nearly 500 jobs. With Brewdog now operating under Tilray International, day-to-day leadership has shifted to COO Lauren Carrol, as a full-time CEO is deemed unnecessary. Taylor’s exit marks the third CEO departure in two years, and while Tilray praised his role in the transition, the real fallout hits investors: over 200,000 “Equity for Punks” backers, who poured £75M into the company, face total losses. Brewdog’s once-$1B valuation is now a ghost of its former self — and its co-founder James Watt is now offering a lifeline to those left holding the bag.
