Benoit Garbe is set to leave his role at Bud Light’s parent company at the end of the year, it was announced Wednesday, ‘in order to embark on a new chapter in his career.’

Serving as the company’s CMO for just over two years, his tenure was marred by an April marketing debacle where a Bud Light partnership with Mulvaney led to a boycott by the brand’s customers and a significant loss in revenue.

In third quarter returns reported Tuesday, the summer slump continued as the company suffered a 13.5 percent drop in revenue per 100 liters, a key measure for beer sales.
