Graham Villiers-Tuthill, Marketing & Innovation Director Greater China, Diageo PLC

Marketing & Innovation Director for Diageo Greater China covering the markets of mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.

A globally experienced business leader, I have been fortunate to have lived in a range of diverse markets and worked across some of Diageo’s biggest brands in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Originally born in Ireland, I have worked for Diageo for the last seventeen years. Prior to my current role I was the Marketing and Innovation Director for Diageo in East Africa, based in Nairobi Kenya. I also served as a non-Executive Director for Serengeti Breweries Limited.

Outside work I am a long suffering Connacht and Ireland rugby fan, maybe our luck will change at the World Cup this September!
