Jack Daniel’s whiskey maker Brown-Forman Corp. in March restructured its technology leadership around the supply chain, which the company’s chief financial officer has identified as a source of pressure.
For Brown-Forman, glass supply pressures were the largest driver of supply-chain disruption, Leanne Cunningham, the company’s senior vice president and chief financial officer, said in its third-quarter earnings call last month. The company is also facing cost pressures from rising commodity prices, including agave and grain, she noted.
