Philana Bouvier, Senior Vice President, New Business Development at Young’s Market Company
Philana leads new business development at Young’s Market Company and is responsible for lead generation, prospect management, and new supplier engagement. Philana actively partners with Young’s current and potential suppliers to capitalize on market and category opportunities. Shortly after Philana joined Young's in 2010, she took on the leadership role of General Manager for Young’s Hawaii business unit – a move that would make her the industry’s first non-family, female executive to lead statewide sales, marketing, and operations for a major alcohol distributor in the United States.
Prior to joining Young's, Philana served as co-founder and CEO of Waiwera Artesian Water USA. Philana also owned and led B&Co., a boutique brokerage firm specializing in distributor sales support and delivering exceptional client experiences for suppliers.
