Seafood People expands into Chilean market

Norway-based seafood executive recruitment firm Seafood People has expanded into Chile by appointing Marianne Gaedicke as a senior advisor.

Based in Chile, Gaedicke has spent the last 24 years as general manager of IntraFish Media Chile and key account manager for the Americas.

In her new job with Seafood People, she will oversee growth initiatives in the Chilean market while supporting broader global projects.

Industry friendships

“I built deep, long-term relationships and industry friendships during my two decades with IntraFish Media,” said Gaedicke. 

“As that chapter came to a close, I was looking for a role that aligned naturally with my background and how I’ve approached my career. After many years in the seafood and aquaculture industries, Seafood People felt like the organisation where my experience, relationships, and long-term industry knowledge could have the greatest impact.”

Thomas Bakke, managing director of Seafood People, said: “Chile’s seafood industry is dynamic and continues to evolve. While we have supported multiple recruitment and consulting assignments in the region, we saw a clear opportunity to deepen our presence with the right leadership on the ground. 

"I am thrilled that Marianne has joined us to help lead this effort and look forward to this exciting next phase of growth for our firm.”
