Our People
Claude
Owner/Operator & Toronto Retail Sales
I have been selling beer in the Ontario market for the past three decades and have only represented Independent or Craft breweries during that time. I am the proud operator of the North American Craft Beer Import Agency, and we take great pride in representing Independent & Craft Breweries in the Ontario market. I’m a fan of baseball, traveling and spending time with my family and friends.
Katy
Operations Manager
I have been with NAC since July 2012, and transitioned from my role as Territory Manager in April 2016 to become the company’s Administrator and I am now the Operations Manager, working with the LCBO, The Beer Store and Grocery store. I work with our suppliers to build applications for new brands, keep our sales force up-to-date on developments, and help manage inventory, among many other things. If you have a question and you’re not sure who to ask, it’s probably me!
Kevin
Ottawa & Kingston Area Representative
I’ve been in the industry for 19 years, I service the Ottawa and Kingston areas, and I am extremely passionate about the brands I represent.
Brian
Territory Manager – Southwestern Ontario
I’m a long-time craft beer enthusiast and some-time home brewer. After spending 10 years in publishing, editing and related fields, I decided to follow my passion for craft beer. I joined the team in February 2015 as Territory Manager, serving London to Mississauga and Hamilton through Niagara.
Helen
Accounting & Office Manager
After meeting Claude several years ago, Helen assumed the role of accountant and office manager at North American Craft. Her experience in consumer packaged goods and with small businesses has provided the tools needed to organize and help manage the growth of this small but mighty sales agency.
Miranda
Inside Sales
I am one of the newest members to the North American Craft Team. Although I’m new to the industry I come with over 20 years of retail experience. My role is Inside Sales and I serve Northern Ontario from Barrie to Thunder Bay as well as Brampton, Windsor and Stratford areas.
Andrea
Territory Manager
My name is Andrea and I joined NAC in April 2016 but have been in the service industry for over 20 years from on the other side of the counter. I have served, bartended and owned/operated restaurants. Choosing NAC as my next career move was definitely an exciting adventure that I am thoroughly enjoying! Working with an incredible team that knows how to get things done is a great asset. I am the Territory Manager for Belleville and Prince Edward County to Peterborough and the Kawarthas, Durham East and now including the York Region.
