Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits LLC has hired Alan Wizemann as the company’s chief digital officer. The distributor racked up $3 billion in digital sales last year on its B2B ecommerce platform SGProof.com.

“Alan’s expertise will be instrumental in ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional value to our suppliers, customers and teams,” Chaplin says. “I am confident that Alan will help drive the next digital chapter in the Southern Glazer’s story.”

In addition, sales consultants generated more than 1 million proposals through the platform, leading to millions of dollars in incremental sales and 70,000 new points of distribution, the distributor says.
