Corona Beer Maker Constellation Brands Names Nicholas Fink as New CEO

Nicholas Fink, with global beverage and leadership experience, will lead Constellation Brands amid market challenges as Bill Newlands transitions to strategic advisor and retires in 2026.

  • On Feb. 12, 2026, Constellation Brands' Board appointed Nicholas Fink, incoming President and Chief Executive Officer, effective April 13, 2026.
  • The Board advanced a planned, multi-year succession process that led to the appointment amid demand pressures and weak alcohol sales, including a pullback by Hispanic consumers.
  • Fink, who has led Fortune Brands Innovations since January 2020, has served on Constellation's board since 2021, and TD Cowen's Robert Moskow said it's "Given Fink's experience on the board, we do not expect this transition to lead to a major change in strategic direction".
  • The outgoing CEO will support the handover while the market reacted, with Newlands stepping down on April 13 and shares falling during premarket and extended trading sessions.
  • Constellation is slated to issue its next financial update on April 8, 2026, and Board Chair Chris Baldwin said Fink's board perspective will position the Rochester corporate footprint for long-term success and continuity.
