Jeremy “Jez” Spencer is a pioneering force in Australia’s modern spirits and RTD cocktail scene. He is the co-founder of both The West Winds Gin—one of Australia’s first craft gin distilleries—and Curatif, a premium canned cocktail company changing how and where people drink well.

With The West Winds, Jez helped catalyze Australia’s gin renaissance beginning in 2011, using hyper-local ingredients like Margaret River seawater and irreverent branding to stand out in a then-nascent market. That same balance of precision and play now drives Curatif, whose award-winning range of ready-to-drink cocktails reimagines high-quality drinking in unconventional settings: hotel rooms, flights, golf courses, and beyond.

Jez brings deep knowledge of brand positioning, product development, flavor sourcing, and international RTD expansion—especially for markets bridging Australia, the U.S., and Asia.
