Shawn M. Miller is Co-Founder and Chief Right Brain of PKGD Group, a United States importer and brand-development company representing producer-owned agave spirits from Mexico.For more than a decade, Shawn has worked closely with families making tequila, mezcal, raicilla, and other agave spirits. His responsibility is not to tell producers what their products or brands should become. It is to help create the understanding, language, relationships, and market-development systems that allow exceptional products to succeed in the United States without separating them from the people who made them.PKGD operates according to three commitments: Producer-Owned, Transparency, and World-Class Quality. These principles shape which producers the company represents, how their stories are communicated, and how PKGD approaches growth.As Chief Right Brain, Shawn works across brand strategy, communications, education, original media, company culture, and institutional development. He has helped build PKGD around the belief that the truth is usually more interesting and more durable than anything a marketing department could invent.His work has increasingly expanded from building brands to building the people, language, judgment, and systems that allow an organization to grow without becoming unnecessarily dependent on its founders. That responsibility led him to a broader understanding of stewardship: caring well for what has been placed in your hands.Shawn writes and speaks about entrepreneurship, producer ownership, agave spirits, authentic marketing, organizational culture, distribution and market development, and leadership through stewardship.He is the author of the forthcoming book The Entrustment: A Stewardship System for Protecting What Matters Under Pressure.
