Sharon Glover-Salene

Sharon grew up in Jefferson City, Missouri, and began her career in Kansas City, KS, after graduating from the University of Central Missouri. A new role with Kimberly-Clark soon led her to Houston, TX, and later Salt Lake City, UT, where she developed her skills in sales and distribution. From there, she moved to Chattanooga, TN, joining Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals and expanding her industry expertise. In 2005, Sharon relocated to Boise, ID, and purchased BRJ Distributing, a small operation at the time. Over 18 years, she transformed the business, eventually merging with Idaho Wine Merchant in 2023 as Co-President/CEO. Now, in 2024, she’s starting an exciting chapter with Hayden Beverage as President of Idaho Wine Merchant, guiding the division’s sales, portfolio, and brand development. Outside work, Sharon enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband and two daughters.
