Dave Pardus is the Founder and CEO of Total Beverage Solution which he launched in 2001. Dave’s mission was to provide access to the challenging US Beverage Alcohol market for smaller, international brands. Traveling the world, he discovers numerous unique, historic, and distinctive brands which he collects to build the distinctive portfolio of TBS today.
Along with building the TBS portfolio, Dave is also focused on building a team of talent to enable the best care possible for these brands. If that wasn’t enough, Dave is also building his family with his wife Jayne, spending most of their time outside of work chasing two teenaged daughters around swimming pools all over the country. If there is any free time, Dave can be found on the golf course with Jayne, a former Professional Golfer, who regularly makes it clear she is the best golfer in the family.
Dave’s leadership style is consistent and steady. He believes in doing the right thing and from running over 10 marathons – likes to “finish strong”. The leadership culture is one of a growth-orientation, mirroring the 15 consecutive years of growth in the business. From the start, Dave made sure TBS is a place where people can perform and grow personally as well as professionally – not having to choose one or the other.
This is what drives Dave every day towards building a business others want to work with and a company people are excited to work for.
