SPI said the move was “based on a joint decision” as part of Stoli’s “restructuring and ongoing plan to accelerate international growth and development”. Details of who will be replacing Cullins were not immediately available.
Cullins joined Stoli in 2011 as global commercial director, before moving up to become CEO in February last year.
“We thank Rob for his service to Stoli and note the company’s improving business performance,” said SPI CEO Dmitry Efimov. “Under his leadership, Stoli Group expanded its business into new geographies and built a strong global distribution network.”
