The Blue Harvest Fisheries Board of Managers announced that its President and CEO, Jeff Davis, will retire this month. However, Mr. Davis will continue working on the company´s strategic initiatives as Chairman of the Board of Managers of the Company.
“Jeff Davis is a visionary leader within the seafood industry and he was instrumental in building Blue Harvest from an idea to what it is today”, emphasized Scott Perekslis, managing partner and co-founder of New York-based private equity firm Bregal Partners.
Davis will be succeeded by Keith Decker, who will take up the company´s presidency and he will also be its new CEO.
Deckers has long-life experience in the fishing industry, as he has previously worked in important companies of the sector, such as High Liner Foods Incorporated and Fishery Products International.
Founded in 2015, Blue Harvest Fisheries dedicates to sustainable harvesting, processing, and marketing of MSC-certified premium Atlantic sea scallops and the sales and distribution of other premium seafood products such as cod, flatfish, tuna, and swordfish.
The company aims to grow its vertically-integrated premium seafood platform, so it is expected that the experience of the new CEO will contribute to achieving that growth.
