Gunnar Aasbo-Skinderhaug has assumed his role as the new CFO of Atlantic Sapphire, replacing Karl Øystein Øyehaug.
“I am honored and excited to announce that I have joined Atlantic Sapphire as deputy CEO and CFO,” wrote Aasbo-Skinderhaug on LinkedIn. “I have relocated to Miami and am looking forward to using all my seafood experience to develop land-based Salmon farming in the US together with all my good colleagues here in Florida.”
Bringing more than 15 years of experience in the seafood industry and salmon farming, Aasbo-Skinderhaug has played pivotal roles in operational executive positions within Cermaq’s Norwegian entity and has contributed to operational improvements in both Norwegian and Chilean branches.
With a decade of experience as a CFO, including a stint at the formerly Oslo Stock Exchange-listed Aker Seafoods, Aasbo-Skinderhaug also boasts extensive knowledge in land-based farming and RAS production.
“I am proud to get this opportunity at Atlantic Sapphire. The demand for salmon is strong while the industry’s supply cannot keep up. The future of salmon farming includes significant production volumes from land-based farms, and Atlantic Sapphire has a long experience and a unique position to serve the greatest salmon market in the world with premium salmon,” said Aasbo-Skinderhaug when his appointment was first announced.
Øyehaug will continue to assist the company to ensure a smooth transition.
