Cox joined MABC in 2014 as the organization’s vice-president of corporate affairs, and became its president and CEO in 2017.

Prior to that, he served as vice-president of Western Canada for Canada’s National Brewers, and led public affairs in Western Canada for Molson Coors Canada. He began his career working for B.C.’s ministries of health and education.

Cox will assume a role previously held by David Keane, who tendered his resignation in August 2018.
