Nick Simon

Nick has spent over a decade building brand equity and driving distribution growth in one of the most competitive beer markets in the industry. A native of Chicago and working with Louis Glunz since 2012, Nick now sits at the intersection of supplier strategy and market execution, translating portfolio goals into action.

Nick’s work spans both sides of the system. On the supplier side, Nick manages a diverse book of award-winning brand partners, leading programming strategy, distribution analysis, and structured communication that drives relationships forward. On the account side, Nick brings a Key Account Manager mindset to the On-Premise Chain channel: owning relationships, identifying opportunities, and building brand visibility that moves volume over time.

Nick’s fluency in Chicago’s On-Premise landscape and culture runs deep. With years of sales experience at Louis Glunz and corporate sales experience outside of the industry, Nick knows what drives menu decisions, how tastemaker accounts want to curate their programs, and how to position a brand to win placements. This market knowledge, combined with a data-driven approach to distribution tracking and gap analysis, makes him a constant resource for both the sales team and supplier partners alike.

Nick is grateful to continue to be a part of the Louis Glunz family and its one-of-a-kind portfolio of beverages.
