A leader in the field of health and nutrition supplements, Quicksilver Scientific selected Ahbe due to her history of leading cross-functional teams in the development of iconic brand strategies and highly creative programs that produce results.

“The impact of Michelle’s efforts with the Blue Moon brand cannot be underestimated,” said Christopher Shade, Ph.D., Founder & CEO of Quicksilver Scientific. “Michelle’s experience bringing new brands to market both here and internationally, combined with her passion for leading teams, will give us a distinct advantage.

In the role, Ahbe will work with a team to develop and orchestrate the execution of an integrated communications strategy across multiple touchpoints, with the goals of driving growth into high-value consumer segments and markets, recruiting new consumers and building long-term, sustainable brand equity.

“I look forward to the opportunity to introduce more people to Quicksilver Scientific’s amazing line of products while directing the company

into new meaningful channels,” Ahbe said. “I have always enjoyed using consumer insights to listen and learn about what products people need and want. Today, the world is clamoring for healthier ways to stay active, feel better and live their best, and Quicksilver Scientific has the best technology and products on the market. The company is at the forefront of the industry, and I can’t wait to dive in to see how we can further meet consumers’ needs with the development of new brands and products.”

At Molson, Ahbe enjoyed a reputation for developing go-to-market strategies and new product launch tactics solidly rooted in consumer insights. During her tenure at Molson, Ahbe was responsible for the international expansion and double-digit growth of Blue Moon. Most recently, she led the national launch of Blue Moon LightSky, a new offering from Blue Moon Brewing Company. LightSky has been hailed as the top-selling new beer in the United States for 2020 by Nielsen and one of the most celebrated innovation launches for Molson Coors.
