Change at the top in BioMar salmon division
The BioMar Group has announced changes to the executive management team in its salmon division.
The fish feed company said two employees have been promoted internally; they have delivered remarkable business results in other executive management positions.
The new VP of the salmon division, Patrick Campbell, comes from the role of MD of the Scottish business unit. Prior to that MD position, he headed up the global R&D function within the BioMar Group. He has also been one of the main drivers establishing a solid BioMar business footprint in Australia, said the company.
Campbell [in picture] has been working for BioMar since 1998, where he started as product developer.
BioMar said its MD in Norway is Håvard Jørgensen, who was previously global R&D director.
Jørgensen had been heading the global R&D organization since 2015 and has a very solid insight into the Norwegian industry through his R&D work within the salmon division as well as through his efforts heading up the Norwegian industry organization, Sjømatbedriftene, said BioMar.
He is based in Trondheim.
The current VP of the salmon division, Jan Sverre Røsstad, is leaving the BioMar Group after 12 years leading the Norwegian business unit as well as the salmon division.
A spokesperson for the BioMar Group told us the reason for his departure is that he has “decided to focus his efforts on his private businesses.”
Røsstad, continued the company, will support the new management during a transition period to ensure smooth handover.
