As founder of John R. Acott and Associates, I help craft spirits and beverage producers overcome growth challenges and achieve their ambitions.

With a background as a U.S. Marine Corps Captain and extensive senior leadership experience in the beverage alcohol industry — including key roles at Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits — I bring disciplined execution, proven sales strategies, and deep distributor relationships to every engagement.

My approach combines experienced leadership with hands-on industry expertise to deliver clarity, accountability, and results.

Whether you need to strengthen distributor performance, expand into new markets, launch innovative programs, or refine your go-to-market strategy, I act as a trusted partner focused on sustainable growth.
