Interview AQUAFEED Perhaps you could tell us a little about your journey to becoming CEO of one of the world’s largest aquafeed companies; you worked at Skretting before – what brought you back? TLB Well, I originally studied Finance and Marketing at the University of Stavanger. After my studies, I spent a
with Therese Log Bergjord number of years in the oil and gas industry in various commercial positions. I joined the aquaculture industry in 2003, with Pan Fish, a global salmon farmer that later became Marine Harvest. And you are right, I spent two years in Skretting in 2007, as the Global and Norwegian Sales Director. I left the business for some years to become a Managing
Director, as I became the country and Nordic MD for Compass Group, a British food and support services company. I have been working in three very different industries and I have learned a lot. When the previous CEO of Nutreco called me to ask if I wanted to come back to Skretting, I knew immediately that it was a big yes.
