I am an award winning quality leader. I build high-performing teams who actually like working together. I care deeply about how testing, automation, and team dynamics shape real user experiences. Quality isn't a checkbox. It's a culture.

I've spoken at conferences, built cool things, broken a few (intentionally, I swear), and I’m always learning. If you're into real conversations about testing, leadership, or failing forward with a little style and sarcasm, we’ll get along just fine.

Thomas McCorry devoted 20 years of his professional career to Constellation Brands, a global producer of some of the most recognized beer, wine, and spirits brands, including Corona, Modelo, Meomi, Robert Mondavi, Casa Noble, Mi Campo, and Svedka. During his tenure, he progressed through a variety of senior financial leadership positions, gaining extensive experience in accounting and controls, operational finance, controllership, business partnership, strategy, and overall financial management. His work consistently produced strong results, supported by expertise in strategic and financial planning, risk management, financial controls, process improvement, mentoring, US GAAP accounting, cost optimization, valuations, modeling, and revenue management.

He joined the company in 2004 as a Director and was later promoted to Vice President of Global Accounting. In that role, he oversaw the global consolidated accounting close for the $3.6 billion publicly traded business, reducing the close process by eight days while enhancing reporting quality and strengthening internal controls. He developed global cash flow reporting processes, shortened preparation time by 10 days, and streamlined multi-currency statement consolidation. His responsibilities included conducting in-depth accounting research on complex transactions, leading purchase price allocations for billion-dollar acquisitions, creating global accounting policies, centralizing intercompany transactions, and ensuring compliance with US GAAP for both domestic and international operations. He also played a key role in the design and implementation of a new global ERP system.

In 2012, he became Vice President of FP&A – Wine & Spirits, directing strategic and annual planning for a $2.7 billion U.S. business. Two years later, as Vice President of Commercial Finance – Wine & Spirits, he centralized $150 million in non-price investments, introduced zero-based budgeting, improved forecasting processes, and implemented financial metrics that connected sales performance with company objectives. He restructured the sales finance function into a shared services model, enabling both growth and acquisitions without adding headcount.

He went on to serve as Chief Audit Executive and Senior Vice President & Controller before returning to the Wine & Spirits Division as Senior Vice President & CFO. There, he redefined strategy following a $1 billion divestiture, reduced $100 million in stranded fixed costs, and built a pricing execution team that improved price realization by 500%. From 2021 to late 2023, he served as Senior Vice President & CFO of the Beer Division, an $8 billion revenue business, where he reduced planned capital spending by $1.5 billion, enhanced governance, increased margins, and launched a multi-year cost efficiency plan.

Before joining the company, he spent seven years in public accounting at major firms. In 2024, he became Managing Consultant at Pinnacle Growth Strategies, helping organizations strengthen financial performance, manage risk, and achieve sustainable growth. He serves on several boards, funds scholarships, and volunteers in his community. A graduate of SUNY Geneseo, he is a CPA and completed an executive program at Dartmouth College. Originally from Brooklyn, he is married with two children and enjoys running, traveling, and time at the beach. Thomas McCorry continues to apply his experience to guide organizations toward long-term success.
