by Dr Neil Auchterlonie, Technical Director, IFFO
To coin an expression, it is the end of an era at IFFO, and the start of a new one. Andrew Mallison, who has been leading IFFO as an organisation in the position of Director General for the last seven years, left the organisation at the end of July to take on a new role with Global Aquaculture Alliance.
Andrew leaves a superb legacy of his work, with IFFO in great shape as an organisation and possessing a strong strategic vision and mission. We at IFFO all wish Andrew well in his new endeavour and we are convinced he will be a great success leading the GAA as another global seafood organisation. He will be missed by us all, but a new era is about to commence.
The new Director General, Petter Martin Johannessen will be joining the IFFO team from early September, and he is an extremely able successor in the role. Petter brings a range of different skills to the role of DG, not least of which is substantial experience working in the feed industry with Cargill Aqua Nutrition and Ewos and having an impressive array of experience across management consultancy, procurement, sourcing and improvement project design. He will certainly have an in-depth understanding of the business from the customer’s perspective. We welcome Petter to the team and look forward to working with him as he leads the organisation through a very interesting period of time for aquaculture and aquafeed development as it consistent growth continues to be supported by the marine ingredients industry.
One of Petter’s first jobs is linked to probably the most important event in the IFFO calendar. The IFFO team is in the process of organising our IFFO Annual Conference, which this year is going to be held in Rome. The Director General’s role is important in welcoming and closing the conference, and although Petter is already widely known in the community it will be a great opportunity for many others to meet him for the first time. The Technical Session on day two of the event is one where we have the opportunity to focus on the science relating to fishmeal and fish oil. It is a good opportunity to provide a summary of IFFO’s technical work to the membership.
