Launching his career in consumer products with Plume Ridge Import/Export, Rothstein joined Drew Estate Cigars in 1997 and helped develop the brands that put them on the map during the cigar boom in the late 1990’s. His development of the company’s identity, as well as creation of their breakthrough product Acid Cigars helped propel the company to international success and recognition as trendsetters within the industry. Rothstein later developed his technical skills leading four departments at Multi-Flow Industries, including R&D and Marketing. Rothstein, a trained sommelier, learned beverage formulation while at Multi-Flow, utilizing his experienced palate to greatly increase Multi-Flow’s offerings and help them expand into the C-Store market. Most recently, Rothstein lead the formation of consumer health brand swiig for Simple Again. The creation of swiig unified the many disparate product lines previously offered through the company’s B2B division into a cohesive brand housing 100+ SKUs, driving growth in the CPG space.
Reid Rosenthal, Co-Founder and Herb’s grandson said “It’s exciting to watch our company grow. We’ve been searching for additional talent and I believe at this stage of our development, Owen will be invaluable. It’s great to have him on board full time.” John Wolgamot, Sales Director with Herb & Lou’s and a beverage industry veteran that joined Herb & Lou’s at the beginning of this year, added “as the unprecedented growth in spirits and premium mixers continues, Herb & Lou’s continues to expand its reach into additional channels of trade. Additionally, Herb & Lou’s premium non-alcoholic products are expanding into DSD partnerships as distributors have recognized Herb & Lou’s as a new-found source of volume and revenue that does not conflict with any current portfolio pairings. It’ll be great to have Owen to help build the business.”
