ONE ROQ Welcomes John Mulvey and Jack Delaporte to Lead US Distribution Development in 2021
The announcement represents a key milestone as ONE ROQ Vodka begins the transition from conceptual start-up to promising disruptor.
Today, ONE ROQ Spirits is announcing John Mulvey and Jack Delaporte, two senior hires, that will lead distribution development in the US for ONE ROQ Vodka and its growing international community of brand owners. The announcement comes hand-in-hand with the Company’s announcement to achieve distribution programs in all 50 US states, and more, by 2023.
The target distribution infrastructure is part of the Company’s requirement to successfully fulfill the vision of Carry Requests, a white-glove placement service that enables Club Members to have ONE ROQ made available through specific establishments of their choosing in their local markets. 50 States will also allow the Company to expand its e-commerce capability by adding more retailers who can reach more households throughout the country.
” John Mulvey and Jack Delaporte have a combined 50 years of successful brand launch and distributor programming experience working for some of the most successful suppliers and distributors in the world,” shares Garrett Green, CEO/Director. “Together, their job will be to develop and manage a national distribution network we require to advance our unique strategies and plan. “

John began his career as a regional manager at Bacardi Limited, a top 5 global supplier of beverage alcohol, serving from 1990 to 1997. Following, John was recruited by the Kautz Ironstone Vineyards Company where he directed and managed an 8-state mid-west territory overseeing 15 US distributors. With a burgeoning track record in sales, John was finally hired by Imperial Brands, the US subsidiary of Belvedere SA (France), a top 10 global supplier, to be part of the National Team that led the Sobieski US brand launch to over 1 Million Cases in just 4 years, the fastest brand to reach 1M cases in the US ever.
