Sensor Globe nets experienced sales manager as it launches new product
Norway and Canada-based company Sensor Globe has hired an experienced aquaculture sales professional, Kjetil Rosvold, as sales manager for Norway.
Rosvold’s previous roles were at aquaculture tech suppliers NORBIT Aqua and Fishency Innovation.
“Sensor Globe is delighted to welcome Kjetil to the team. Our main market at this stage is Norway, and we are now well positioned to seize the great opportunities that lie ahead,” said Sheamus MacDonald, chief executive of Sensor Globe, which is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Stand-out candidate
Sebastian Gjertsen, head of product at Sensor Globe, said: “We had over 100 strong applicants for the position, and Kjetil stood out immediately. He brings with him valuable experience and a strong network in the aquaculture industry.
“We are confident that he will help take the company and the sales organisation to a new level. And we are particularly eager to have him onboard for the Aqua Nor launch of the Crowding Companion product.”
Sensor Globe is a grapefuit-sized multi-functional sensor designed to “flow with the fish” through pipes, hoses, fish pumps, lice treatment and other machinery, measuring both water quality and physical impact on the fish (acceleration and shock).
In the crowd
The Crowding Companion being launched at the Aqua Nor trade show in Trondehim next week consists of a buoy equipped with three advanced sensors at different depths. It is designed to be placed in a fish pen before a crowding operation, where it captures real-time welfare data – oxygen levels, water quality, and fish behaviour - from the centre of the crowd, where fish can be stressed the most.
The buoy has a light on top that changes colour, traffic light-style, to provide instant visual feedback. A green light indicates oxygen levels are good; yellow warns that DO is nearing critical thresholds; and red means that immediate action is required.
Sensor Globe says this intuitive system keeps farmers informed without constant phone-checking. If the light changes, it’s their cue to review live graphs and trends on the Sensor Globe app.
“I am proud and motivated to be joining Sensor Globe as the new sales manager. The company has been in the industry for over five years and has increased both its customer and lead base every year. I look forward to helping accelerate their market share,” said Kjetil Rosvold, who took up the position this week, just in time for Aqua Nor.
