Thomas McCorry

Thomas McCorry dedicated 20 years to Constellation Brands, a global producer of prominent beer, wine, and spirits brands such as Corona, Modelo, Meomi, Robert Mondavi, Casa Noble, Mi Campo, and Svedka. Over two decades, he advanced through a variety of leadership positions, gaining extensive experience in accounting and controls, operational finance, controllership, business partnership, strategy, and overall financial leadership. His career reflects consistent achievement, supported by expertise in strategic and financial planning, risk management, financial controls, process improvement, mentoring, US GAAP accounting, cost management, valuations, modeling, and revenue management. He joined the company in 2004 as a Director and later became Vice President of Global Accounting. In this role, he oversaw the global consolidated accounting close for the $3.6 billion publicly traded business, reducing the close cycle by eight days while improving reporting quality and strengthening internal controls. He created global cash flow reporting processes that shortened preparation time by 10 days and streamlined the consolidation of multi-currency statements. His work also involved conducting complex accounting research, leading purchase price allocations for billion-dollar acquisitions, developing global accounting policies, centralizing intercompany transactions, and ensuring compliance with US GAAP for both domestic and international operations. He also played a role in designing and implementing a new global ERP system. In 2012, he became Vice President of FP&A – Wine & Spirits, managing strategic and annual planning for a $2.7 billion U.S. business. Two years later, as Vice President of Commercial Finance – Wine & Spirits, he centralized $150 million in non-price investments, introduced zero-based budgeting, improved forecasting processes, and developed financial metrics that connected sales performance to company objectives. He also reorganized the sales finance team into a shared services model, enabling support for growth and acquisitions without adding headcount. He went on to serve as Chief Audit Executive and Senior Vice President & Controller before returning to the Wine & Spirits Division as Senior Vice President & CFO. In that capacity, he redefined the division’s strategy following a $1 billion divestiture, reduced $100 million in stranded fixed costs, and built a pricing execution team that improved price realization by 500%. From 2021 until late 2023, he was Senior Vice President & CFO of the Beer Division, an $8 billion revenue business, where he reduced planned capital spending by $1.5 billion, strengthened governance, improved margins, and implemented a multi-year cost efficiency plan. Before joining the company, he spent seven years in public accounting with major firms. In 2024, he became Managing Consultant at Pinnacle Growth Strategies, helping organizations improve financial performance, manage risk, and achieve sustainable growth. He serves on several boards, funds scholarships, and volunteers within his community. A graduate of SUNY Geneseo, he is a CPA and completed an executive program at Dartmouth College. Originally from Brooklyn, he is married with two children and enjoys running, traveling, and spending time at the beach. Thomas McCorry continues to use his knowledge and experience to guide organizations toward lasting success.
