“When I think of a go-to market strategist in the beverage industry, it is Vanessa Walker,” said John Fieldly, interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Celsius Holdings, Inc. “Since Vanessa joined the team in January 2016, she has charted a new course for the flagship brand: rebranding and repackaging, as well as expanding sales and distribution.  A testament to the brand’s new positioning, CELSIUS® is now the second fastest-growing Energy / Other Functional beverage as defined by SPINS” (SPINS MULO 52wks ending 4/16/17, Total US).
