Q&A with AB Inbev’s global CMO Miguel Patricio

Russell Parsons

Miguel Patricio’s career trajectory should provide marketers wishing to grow their influence in an organisation with inspiration. Beginning his career at what is now AB Inbev in 1998 as a marketer he climbed to region president of North America in 2005 and then led the strategically crucial Asia Pacific region in 2006. He rejoined the marketing ranks in July 2012 as global chief marketing officer. He talks to Marketing Week about revenue generation, the role of marketing in society, social media, his objectives for the brewer and “watery beer” gate.
