Producer targets US market
Arild Aakre has been appointed head of Cermaq's North America Sales organization – a role based out of Vancouver and Miami, which involves serving North American customers with salmon from Chile, Norway and Canada.
“I am thrilled to be part of our commercial team in North America and continue our work to build strong long term relationship with customers. Cermaq, as the 2nd biggest salmonid producer in the world, should have a more significant role in the biggest salmon market in the world. I am looking forward to contributing to that,” Aakre said.
Aakre has extensive experience in sales and marketing, and was previously the company’s Business Development Director Europe.
He was formerly Global Marketing and Business Development Director of Marine Harvest, before joining Cermaq in February 2016. He will continue his work with strategic customers in Europe.
