Top Shelf International Holdings Limited announced that as part of a planned succession, current TSI Executive and former Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) Vice President, Mr. Trent Fraser, has been appointed CEO effective immediately, replacing Mr. Drew Fairchild, Managing Director. Drew Fairchild has also resigned as Managing Director. Mr. Fairchild co-founded TSI in 2014 and led the Company through a period of significant change and growth, including the construction of its distillery and production facility, establishment of an Australian agave spirit farm, listing the Company on the ASX in December 2020, navigating the challenges of the global pandemic, and most importantly, the creation, launch and growth of the first two brands in its Australian premium spirits portfolio, NED Whisky and Grainshaker Vodka.

Mr. Fraser has more than two decades of experience in wine and spirits, including 13 years in New York LVMH. Prior to LVMH, he spent nearly a decade with Penfolds and Treasury Wine Estates in Australia. In 2008 he took up a position in New York with Moët Hennessy within its luxury spirits portfolio, where he spent 9 years as Vice President for the iconic Champagne producer, Dom Perignon.

Staying within the Moët Hennessy wine and spirits family, Mr. Fraser was then appointed to build and launch a new international tequila brand, Volcan De Mi Tierra. He joined TSI in September 2021 as President Agave and International.
