Laura Lashley, Diageo

On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Laura Lashley, the National On-Premise Manager for Diageo Non-Alc, where she leads the brand’s training and advocacy programs in the US. Laura began her career in drinks working in NYC bars, notably as the Head Bartender and Bar Manager at Avroko’s Madam Geneva, as well as Bar Manager at The Breslin and Ace Hotel Lobby Bar. She has been ‘sowing the seeds’ with the Seedlip team in the States for nearly four years, and enjoys using her bartending experience and love of the industry to bring the non-alcoholic category to the forefront. She is always on the move, but currently calls sunny LA home. Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to embrace zero proof; Speed Round; Industry News Discussion on NYC's new food rules for to-go cocktails; and Solo Dining experience at Fiorella Pasta, chef Marc Vetri's intimate pasta bar in a restored space in Philly's historic district.Photo Courtesy of Laura Lashley.Listen at Heritage Radio Network; subscribe/rate/review our show at iTunes, Stitcher or Spotify.
