Maciolek, who most recently served as senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary of Wisconsin-based Kohler Co., will report to Molson Coors President and Chief Executive Officer, Gavin Hattersley, and will be based in Chicago.

As the company’s top attorney, Maciolek will oversee all legal matters across Molson Coors’ global business, including corporate governance, regulatory compliance, securities and government affairs.

“Natalie’s breadth of experience providing trusted and strategic counsel will be a tremendous asset to Molson Coors and our legal team across the globe,” said Hattersley. “She’s an extremely people-centric leader and impressed me with her focus on supporting and growing employees, which has been a hallmark of her 20+ year career.”

In addition to earning her juris doctor from the University of Wisconsin Law School, Maciolek holds a bachelor’s degree in Government from Georgetown University.

“I am thrilled to be joining Molson Coors and its long history of uniting people in celebration,” said Maciolek. “ I was attracted to the company's family roots, values, and commitment to putting people first. It’s an exciting time for the company, and I look forward to working together to achieve our ambition.”
