At Diageo India, where he worked for four years until early 2024, he served as national head of strategic key accounts and country lead for Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific emerging markets, driving international sales from Dubai.
Suri’s earlier tenure at Moët Hennessy included roles as sales director for India travel retail and domestic markets, overseeing operations across India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. He also held senior positions at Pernod Ricard India, including head of region operations and head of sales operations in New Delhi, and at PepsiCo India, where he rose to general manager for market development in Mumbai and zonal sales head for Maharashtra and Goa.
A graduate of the International Management Institute with a postgraduate diploma in sales, distribution and marketing operations, Suri has built a reputation for transforming and scaling businesses across India and emerging markets.
