Thomas Conquet has been appointed managing director of Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages in the UK.
Conquet joins from Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages USA, where he served as senior director, brand marketing.
He first joined Nestlé in 2008 and has held senior roles across brands including Perrier, San Pellegrino, Acqua Panna, Nestlé Pure Life, and Maggi.
Conquet had “played a key role in building and scaling Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages USA, driving growth, expanding premium brands and strengthening consumer-centric initiatives”, Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages UK said.
In his new role he will lead the UK Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages team, looking after brands including San Pellegrino, Aqua Panna, Buxton, Princes Gate, and Nestlé Pure Life waters.
“I’m excited to be joining the team at such a pivotal time,” said Conquet. “The business has strong momentum and an exceptional portfolio of brands. I look forward to building on this success and delivering even more value for our customers and consumers.”
Conquet succeeds Stefano Bolognese, who left Nestlé in April 2026, after 26 years with the company.
It comes as Nestlé sold a 50% stake in its water business to investment firm Platinum Equity earlier this year.
The 50:50 joint venture will be known as Peranel and will continue to be led by current CEO Muriel Lienau.
