I sat down with Chris Gabaldon, CEO of Moët Hennessy North America, who is just over a year into his role.
It's his first time leading a company as CEO, and yet the portfolio he oversees is anything but novice.
Moët & Chandon, Hennessy, Dom Pérignon — these are just some of their brands woven into cultural milestones for centuries.

And for Moët Hennessy North America, that may be the leadership style this moment calls for.
