Rhonda Kallman Biography

In the highly competitive beer industry, pioneer Rhonda Kallman stands alone. At the young age of 24, Kallman cofounded The Boston Beer Company, which quickly became most successful craft brewery in the world. But Kallman did more than just establish and build this world renowned company. Along the way, she single-handedly paved the way for women in the historically male dominated beer industry. Recognized in 1990 by the Institute for Brewing Studies as the “Pioneering Woman in the Beer Industry,” Kallman has broken down countless barriers and established a whole new set of opportunities for women in business.

Kallman knows how to build a successful organization. One of Draft Magazine’s "Top 10 Innovators" in the beer industry, Kallman helped build Boston Beer’s innovative infrastructure and create the most admired and best-trained sales force in the industry. With $200+ million in revenues, Kallman utilized unique go-to-market strategies that capitalized on the power of sales, promotion and marketing. With a coordinated, integrated message, Samuel Adams Boston Lager quickly became regarded as “The Best Beer in America.” Throughout her time with the Boston Beer Company, Kallman was committed to recruiting and promoting women within the company, shattering the proverbial glass ceiling that was once standard among the industry,

A “serial entrepreneur,” Kallman resigned from Boston Beer in January 2000 to pursue her next challenge, founding New Century Brewing Company in 2001. Currently, Kallman is Founder and CEO of Boston Harbor Distillery, a startup with a planned opening in September 2014. Additionally, she is President of Small World Imports and Consulting, representing the alcoholic beverage industry.

An acclaimed professional speaker, Kallman delivers inspiration and motivation to a myriad of audiences focusing on entrepreneurial business, sales and marketing, team building, strategy and distribution, women’s empowerment and overcoming adversity. Energetic, fun and intelligent, Kallman brings the same commitment and tenacity to her talks as she does to her work. Furthermore, as a married mother of three, Kallman is an inspiration to any woman who wants to not just balance family and career, but succeed with flying colors. A leader and visionary, Kallman’s talks motivate audiences to not only pursue their dreams, but change the world around them as they go.
