Founder, Copper & Kings Distillery
Joe Heron
I have started 4 businesses, worked at executive levels for multi-national corporations in Africa, Europe and North America. And I'm still not sure I want to really define myself. I am an entrepreneur, with my own start-ups and in larger corporations. I love building distinctive, memorable brands. I love innovation and the energy and oxygen it provides companies, teams, and commercial success. Business is my creative expression, and there is tremendous joy making the intangible manifest, commercial ceramic.
