Deep Eddy Vodka names new VP of sales

Deep Eddy Vodka has appointed Eric Hund vice president of sales, as John Potts exits the role to “pursue other interests”.

Hund steps into the role with immediate effect and will relocate to Texas where he will report to Deep Eddy president Eric Dopkins.

“Eric has been an important part of Deep Eddy’s success over the past several years,” said Eric Dopkins.

“For a brand so deeply rooted in Texas, he recognised the tremendous opportunity for and worked closely with our leadership team to execute the vision for Deep Eddy Vodka in our home state.

“We are excited to have him lead our Deep Eddy sales team nationally and continue the extraordinary growth of the brand.”

Hund boasts more than 19 years of experience in distribution and supplier aspects of the spirits industry.

His previous positions include leadership roles with Republic National Distributing Co. (RNDC) in Texas, and leading the Eagle Division as vice president.

“I am excited to play a larger role in the growth of Deep Eddy Vodka,” said Hund. “Our team includes many of the most energetic and committed sales people in the business.

“They embody Deep Eddy’s entrepreneurial spirit and unique roots.”
