Thomas McCorry

Thomas McCorry devoted 20 years of his professional career to Constellation Brands, a global producer of renowned beer, wine, and spirits brands such as Corona, Modelo, Meomi, Robert Mondavi, Casa Noble, Mi Campo, and Svedka. During his two decades with the company, he advanced through multiple leadership roles with increasing responsibility in accounting and controls, operational finance, controllership, business partnership, strategy, and overall financial management. His career has been marked by consistent results, backed by expertise in strategic and financial planning, risk management, financial controls, process improvement, mentoring, US GAAP accounting, cost efficiency, valuations, modeling, and revenue management.

He began his journey with the company in 2004 as a Director before being promoted to Vice President of Global Accounting. In this role, he managed the global consolidated accounting close for the $3.6 billion publicly traded business, successfully reducing the close cycle by eight days while improving reporting quality and strengthening internal controls. He implemented global cash flow reporting processes that cut preparation time by 10 days and streamlined the consolidation of multi-currency statements. His responsibilities also included conducting detailed accounting research on complex transactions, leading purchase price allocations for billion-dollar acquisitions, establishing global accounting policies, centralizing intercompany transactions, and ensuring compliance with US GAAP across both domestic and international operations. He also played a key role in designing and implementing a new global ERP system.

In 2012, he became Vice President of FP&A – Wine & Spirits, overseeing strategic and annual planning for a $2.7 billion U.S. business. Two years later, he took on the role of Vice President of Commercial Finance – Wine & Spirits, where he centralized $150 million in non-price investments, introduced zero-based budgeting, enhanced forecasting processes, and developed financial metrics that connected sales performance to company objectives. He also reorganized the sales finance function into a shared services model, enabling support for both growth and acquisitions without increasing headcount.

Thomas McCorry later served as Chief Audit Executive and Senior Vice President & Controller before returning to the Wine & Spirits Division as Senior Vice President & CFO.
