Jonathan Driver is the managing director of private client sales at William Grant & Sonsa family-owned, Scotland-headquartered spirits company founded in 1887 whose single-malt brands include Glenfiddich and The Balvenie.

In his role, Driver caters to an international audience of discerning whisky collectors and connoisseurs: William Grant & Sons’ global private clients arm provides clients with access to ultra-rare or limited stock, a curated portfolio, cask bottling, collectible whiskies and limited-edition collections.

Driver, a former master of The Worshipful Company of Distillers, oversaw the malt whisky arm of Diageo for a decade and was a private client director at Whyte & Mackay before joining William Grant & Sons in 2017.
