Who Owns Fiji Water in 2026? Parent Company, Billionaire Founders, and Brand Facts
By Chloe Bennett
While the Resnicks retain absolute ownership and final capital allocation authority, daily executive oversight rests on dedicated operational leadership. In November 2025, the parent company named Alexandre Zigliara as President of FIJI Water. Zigliara stepped into the role following a successful tenure overseeing international channel expansion for The Wonderful Company, where he drove double-digit market share gains across European, Middle Eastern, and Asian retail accounts.
Zigliara’s modern mandate focuses on supply-chain resilience and defending high-margin shelf space. Beverage industry analysts calculate that Fiji Water commands over 20% of the imported premium bottled water market share across North American supermarkets, but it faces mounting competition from sustainable aluminum-can water brands and domestic spring competitors. Zigliara reports upward through The Wonderful Company's senior management matrix, steering distribution agreements across 60 countries while maintaining diplomatic ties with Fijian authorities.
