Brown will step down as chair of the Brown-Forman Board of Directors in July and subject to reelection at the annual meeting, will continue to serve on the board. Marshall B. Farrer, EVP, chief strategic growth officer and a fifth-generation descendent of the company's founder and a current director of the Board, is tapped to take the role of chair, subject to his reelection to the board. "Brown-Forman has always believed that thoughtful, well-planned leadership transitions strengthen our company for the long term," Brown said. "After working closely with Board leadership, the time is right to entrust the role of Chair to my cousin and fellow Board member, Marshall Farrer." Brown became chair in 2021.
