Ambra Spirits has welcomed former Bacardi-Martini executive Finn Healey as its new Managing Director and co-owner.

With a 16-year career across hospitality and the drinks industry, Healy was most recently Head of Customer Marketing
at Bacardi-Martini Australia, working across brands including Bacardi Rum, Grey Goose Vodka, Bombay Sapphire Gin and Patrón Tequila.

“We are very excited and honoured to have industry rockstar, Finn Healey, joining the Ambra team as Managing Director and new co-owner,” said Ambra Spirits Director Nando Focareta.

“We welcome such a highly respected industry professional. His passion and energy will elevate Ambra to a new level while
honouring our legacy and our traditional Italian inspired spirits.”

Healy has a long history with Ambra Spirits. In 2017, his path intertwined with Ambra Spirits shortly after he founded his own events and cocktail training business. The encounter led to collaborations with co-owners Peppe Fusco and Nando Focareta supporting their ‘Ambra Experience’ cellar door events.

Healey said: “Having seen Ambra’s brand grow stronger over the years, from evolving its identity to expanding its range, I’m thrilled to say that the excitement is at an all-time high as we embark on this next chapter. With the launch of their new distillery bar and the rising trend in the Limoncello category, there’s no better time to come on board and steer
the ship to new heights.”

The brand recently celebrated its 25th anniversary with the unveiling of a newly renovated distillery in Thebarton, South Australia. The extensive enhancements include a modern kitchen, two outdoor spaces and vibrant interior design.
