A longtime industry veteran, his deep relationships with key suppliers and customers make him adept at identifying opportunities that drive growth.

 

Most recently, Julian served as Breakthru’s Region President, East, where he was responsible for all market execution in Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and Washington D.C. as well as Bacchus Imports, the company’s fine wine specialty business. Working closely with the state-level EVPs, he implemented the company’s long-term strategic initiatives to accelerate performance and overall effectiveness and efficiency resulting in impressive year-over-year growth.
