Alcorn State University alumnus Donovan Booth is making huge strides in his career as a market manager.

Booth, who serves as a market manager for Brown-Forman Corporation in the District of Columbia, graduated from the company’s leadership program Thursday, Nov. 10. The ceremony was held in Louisville, Kentucky.

Brown-Forman Corporation is one of the largest American-owned companies in the spirits and wine business. The company manufactures several well-known brands throughout the world including Jack Daniel’s, Early Times, Old Forester and many more.

During his tenure at the company, Booth’s worked ethic led to his invitation to the leadership program. He looks forward to the rest of his career at Brown-Forman.

“It’s a humbling feeling to have been selected for this program and to be seen as a future leader at Brown-Forman,” said Booth.

The leadership program gave Booth the opportunity to do extensive networking with high-ranking leaders in the company.

“Throughout the process, I learned a great deal about my leadership style and career outlook. I also had the chance to connect with key Brown-Forman senior leaders in an effort to grow my network within the company.”

Booth said that he plans to use his success and newfound knowledge to mentor others.

“I hope to continue my development at the company and use my experience to help those that I am blessed to mentor.”
