MGP Ingredients appointed current CFO Brandon Gall as interim CEO in January, succeeding David Bratcher, who resigned from the Board at the end of 2024. The company named industry veteran Donn Lux as Chairman, succeeding Karen Seaberg. Lux will lead the Board’s search for a new permanent CEO. “Donn’s decades of branded spirits experience, vision and leadership uniquely positions him to guide MGP toward becoming a premier branded spirits company,” said Seaberg, who remains on the Board. MGP acquired Lux’s Luxco company for $475 million in 2021, with Luxco becoming the branded division of MGP.
