Team Bai Spotlight: Robert Watkins
June 24th, 2010 • Uncategorized
Name: Robert Watkins
Position: National sales manager-DSD
Background: I started in the beverage industry in 1984 as a beer sales representative and worked for 20 years with distributors in the New York marketplace, learning what it takes to be successful. IÂ then worked for Red Bull North America, managing a group of distributors in Southwest Virginia. Most recently before joining Bai, I worked for a tea company, securing distribution throughout the country and into the Caribbean.
Favorite things to do outside of work: Kayaking and spending time with family.
Why Bai? I was intrigued by the idea of being part of a company with such huge potential to create a new category and to bring a new brand to market. Once I tasted Bai, I knew it was where I wanted to be and to be part of its success. Since I have started with Bai Brands, we have secured distribution in Panama, the Bahamas, Northern California and Washington, D.C. It is exciting to have so much going on right now in the Northeastern U.S. that most companies only dream of.
