Fresh out of the University of Denver, Salomon Marcos Garza Jr. was told he had three months to save Tivoli Brewing Co. when he took over in January.
The 22-year-old is the son of the brewery’s majority stakeholder, Salomon Juan Marcos Villarreal, and had been working at Tivoli for six months before his promotion to replace former CEO Ken Hehir.
“I’m very young but I have the drive and the education,” Garza told BusinessDen. “It’s a team job and, I know I don’t know a lot of stuff about the brewing side and selling side, but I’ve been working with my staff to learn. As one of the oldest breweries in Denver, we want to make it the best.”
