The Global Salmon Initiative (GSI) is pleased to welcome Aino Olaisen, chair of the Board of Directors of Nova Sea AS, as the new co-chair of GSI, joining fellow co-chair Sady Delgado, CEO of AquaChile. Ms Olaisen succeeds Regin Jacobsen, CEO of Bakkafrost, following his two-year tenure.
“The landscape in which we operate is continuously changing, whether in the water where we raise our fish, or in day-to-day business operations. I truly believe that the only way we can build a sustainable future for the industry with longevity, is by working together to share experiences and knowledge so we can continue producing healthy food in the most sustainable way possible,” says Ms Olaisen. “The challenges we face today, from climate change to fish welfare, are simply too big to solve alone. We must collaborate to find the most impactful solutions, and GSI offers a proven model for its members to help identify and implement sustainability improvements and provide a unified voice to stakeholders to share our journey.”
Ms Olaisen is the first woman to take on the position of GSI co-chair, working alongside CEO, Sophie Ryan.
“Aino brings a wealth of experience and valuable perspective to GSI and couples smart business thinking with a strong commitment to sustainability, local communities and youth development,” says Ms Ryan. “She has long been a leader in the Norwegian salmon farming industry who understands that business success depends on pairing best farming practices with effective policies grounded in transparency and continued innovation. We aim to harness Aino’s holistic and pragmatic outlook to motivate industry advancements on a global scale through the work of GSI and its member companies.”
