Stephanie Kilkenny

Corporate Secretary at Eastside Distilling

Stephanie Kilkenny was appointed to our Board of Directors in October 2019. Ms. Kilkenny was the former managing director of Azuñia Tequila, and together with her spouse, owns and controls TQLA, LLC (“TQLA”), the majority owner of Intersect Beverage, LLC. Ms. Kilkenny holds a BS Psychology from Ursinus College in Pennsylvania and relocated to CA immediately upon earning her degree. She began her post-college career in Client Services at the corporate offices of Mail Boxes Etc. and as an Operations Manager at the corporate offices of Insurance Express Services. After a few years in the corporate world, Ms. Kilkenny returned to the classroom to study photography and acquire an AA Interior Design from Mesa College; and then opened her own photography and design firm, Adair Interiors, LLC. Stephanie currently serves as Board President of the Lucky Duck Foundation, a non-profit organization that has raised over $10 million dollars for various charitable organizations since Ms. Killkenny and her husband Patrick founded it in 2005. In 2017, The Lucky Duck Foundation narrowed its focus to alleviating the suffering of San Diego County’s homeless population. Their annual Swing & Soiree event has raised over $1 million dollars per year for the past 5 years. We believe Ms. Kilkenny adds value to the board because of her experience as managing director of Azuñia Tequila.
