Mt Cook Alpine Salmon Ltd has announced the appointment of Carl Carrington to its board.
Carrington was chief executive for six years at Moana, previously known as Aotearoa Fisheries. Moana has a major interest in Sealord which, in turn, owns 100% of Petuna, a Tasmanian salmon company.
Mt Cook Alpine Salmon chair Sir Bill English said Carrington “has deep knowledge of the seafood industry along with marketing experience in New Zealand and overseas.
“He also has established relationships in markets where we export and he will provide a valuable strategic view for our board.”
Since retiring from Moana, Carl moved to Wanaka and has a number of professional board roles including the Cawthron Institute in Nelson.
A chemical engineer by profession, Carl has a track record with a number of senior roles in multinational organisations. He holds an MBA and is a chartered member of the Institute of Directors.
Carrington said: “I was privileged to do some organisational development work for [Mt Cook] earlier this year and ... I feel I can offer some contribution to helping the company unfold its aspirations.”
Mt Cook Alpine Salmon farms freshwater king salmon in the South Canterbury hydro canals of the MacKenzie District. This special salmon is sought after for its clean subtle taste and delicate texture, here and across the globe.
