Bevi, a US-based company specialising in smart watercoolers, has appointed Cathy Lewenberg as its new chief executive officer.

According to the company, Lewenberg's appointment comes as Bevi expands its product offerings and works toward making the beverage industry more sustainable. Co-founder Sean Grundy will shift his attention to new ventures, including international expansion.

Lewenberg has over 20 years of experience across the consumer, retail, health and technology sectors. She was most recently CEO of Drizly, an alcohol delivery platform, where she oversaw rapid growth and its acquisition by Uber.

As Bevi, she will prioritise accelerating growth and product innovation, strengthening the company's scalability and advancing its sustainability goals through strategic partnerships.

Lewenberg said: “I’m thrilled to join Bevi at such an exciting and pivotal moment for the business. The opportunity to lead a company that is not only driving innovation in hydration, but also making a meaningful impact on sustainability aligns perfectly with my passions and experience."

"I look forward to leading Bevi in its mission to eliminate single-use plastic bottles and make healthier choices easier for consumers. I’m eager to partner with this talented team to accelerate growth of this beloved brand and continue making the world a better place, one sip at a time.”

Grundy added: “We’re lucky to welcome Cathy to the Bevi team. She shares our vision to lead the beverage industry on an environmentally sustainable path, and has the experience and know-how to realize that ambitious vision. Cathy brings a wealth of valuable experience to Bevi, from massively scaling Drizly, to successfully driving innovation and transformation at CVS Health. Her skills in brand and product development, distribution, partnerships and general management will be critical to Bevi in the years to come.”
