Jon Moramarco, the former chief executive of Constellation Europe, has been named president of US fine wine and spirits importer Winebow.
Moramarco, who took the reins at Constellation's Guildford offices in 2006 and returned to his native America a year later when he became boss of Constellation International, has most recently been working with BW 166 LLC, an advisory service for the drinks industry.
He said: "I have long admired Winebow for its unique business model, its impressive portfolio of wines and spirits, and its dedication to customer service," said Moramarco.
He will report to Leonardo LoCascio, who founded Winebow in 1980.
Winebow's headquarters are in Montvale, New Jersey.
