Purity Vodka has named a new CEO, less than a year after the previous incumbent took up the position. 

Purity said today that David Szydlik has joined the company as president & CEO, effective immediately. Last May, the company announced the promotion of Brian Citron from general manager to the CEO role. Citron was replacing Andy Glaser, who left the company at the end of 2014

Szydlik was most recently director of chains at Pernod Ricard, Purity said. He has also held positions within Molson Coors and Coca-Cola Enterprises. 

Company chairman Alf Tonnesson said the new CEO’s experience would “propel the growth and success of Purity Vodka as a key player in the vodka category”. 

It was not immediately clear when and why Citron left the CEO position.

Certified organic Purity vodka is produced in Sweden.
