Shelley Brown Floyd
Shelley grew up in Jackson, Mississippi. Her early years were a mix of school and work, spending much of her break time away from school at Brown Bottling with her family. Though, she didn’t see it much as “work,” since she loved her time there, learning the business and spending time with her friends and family
After graduating from Jackson Preparatory School, Shelley went on to Mississippi State University, where she received her Bachelor of Science in Apparel, Textiles, and Merchandising, and a minor in business. Not satisfied, she went to Millsaps College, where she got her MBA in Business Administration. From there, Shelley jumped headfirst into the family business. At Brown Bottling Group, Shelley worked every job the company had to offer: she assisted on trucks, worked in the warehouse, helped with human resources, made sales, collaborated with marketing, learned from management, and so much more. Since taking on her position as Executive Vice President at Brown Bottling Group, Shelley has been instrumental in the growth of the business. She has expanded the company portfolio, negotiated the development of the full-state distribution footprint, guided the company into leveraging social media as a tool, worked simultaneously with both Refresh Sips & Eats and Exell Companies, and shepherded Brown Bottling Group through a recent rebranding.
When she’s not working or spending time with her family, Shelley enjoys traveling and making memories with her family. She also sits on the board of the Central Mississippi Down Syndrome Society, attends Madison Methodist Church where she sits on the SPRC committee, and regularly supports The Lily Pad, a nonprofit cafe, that will employ and train adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities so they can learn significant life/career skills to assist with gaining employment in the community.
She and her husband Patrick have been married for 12 years. They have an eight-year-old son, Aiden, who makes friends with anybody he meets, and a six-year-old daughter named Blair, who has already started on her path to global domination.
