Building a Strategic Partnership

Our relationship with Copalli Rum began in 2018 through an introduction by a founder of a previous client. This founder, familiar with Protis Global from his successful exit with a prior venture, connected us with a senior board member at Copalli Rum. From the outset, it was clear that Copalli wasn’t just building a rum company; they were creating an entire ecosystem in Belize centered around sustainability and community enrichment.

We collaborated closely with Copalli’s leadership, understanding their unique vision of integrating a premium rum brand with a sustainable, locally supportive infrastructure. This involved not only recruiting top-tier talent but also ensuring that hires aligned with the company’s values and goals.
