Mediterranean aquaculture company, Andromeda Seafood Group, has appointed a new group chief executive officer.
Alex Myers was raised in Athens, Greece where he completed high-school before graduating from Yale University, US. His 35-year international business career includes senior positions with multinational companies such as Carlsberg, Unilever, Getinge Group and Hilding Anders, having led several successful company transformations through acquisitions and organic growth. Mr Myers has held the role of group chief executive in both publicly listed companies (Getinge Group and Arjo) and private equity owned businesses (Hilding Anders).
Thor Talseth, Andromeda Seafood Group chairman, said, “We are excited to have Alex join our senior executive team at this important stage in our company’s development to help shape its future. He has a proven track record in business transformation projects, understands the importance of focusing on customer needs and production efficiencies, and knows how to build high-performance teams.”
Andromeda Seafood, which mainly produces sea bass, sea bream and corvina, is currently awaiting merger control approvals for its proposed integration with Nireus SA and Selonda SA. The transaction includes the participation of AMERRA Capital Management LLC (the current owners) and Mubadala Investment Company as shareholders in the combined business.
“I am honoured and very motivated to be joining at such an exciting inflection point for the group,” said Mr Myers. “Three companies joining forces to create an even stronger platform for growth, even better partnerships with our customers and a healthier Mediterranean diet for our consumers. I look forward to working together as a team on this transformational journey.”
